Misinformation now one of biggest threats to democracy in West Africa – Shamima Muslim
Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim has warned that misinformation, artificial intelligence and coordinated disinformation campaigns have emerged as some of the greatest threats confronting democracy in West Africa. Speaking at the inaugural CJID Ghana Media Summit in Accra on Thursday, she said democracy is increasingly being contested on digital platforms rather than only in traditional political institutions. Held under the theme "Defending Democracy in West Africa: The Role of Media," the summit brought together media leaders, civil society organisations, policymakers, academics, diplomats and development partners to discuss strengthening information integrity and democratic resilience across the region.
