Abstract
Disinformation (false information disseminated with the intent to cause harm) takes many forms, including fake news, audio-video impersonations, data falsification, and more. It is linked to allegations of corruption and fraud against elected officials, which, once disambiguated (whether true or false), will in all cases require immediate action to preserve democracy. An integrated strategy to combat disinformation and corruption is needed, requiring constant vigilance, due diligence, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) collaboration. Our PDS will explore how AI, especially LLMs and Knowledge Graphs, can serve this purpose and automate the necessary means to combat hybrid threats to democracy. The PDS will cover the following issues and latest research advances, allowing also interactive roundtables to ensure participants can contribute insight to the debate: 1. Presentation: fighting jointly against disinformation and corruption 2. Roundtable: what innovations are most effective in combating hybrid threats? 3. Demo: ai and knowledge graphs to disambiguate allegations against elected officials 4. Roundtable: what institutional changes are required to fight hybrid threats? 5. Conclusion: action research helping parliamentary institutions develop AI capabilities.

Use of AI to Fight Disinformation and Corruption
Disinformation (false information disseminated with the intent to cause harm) takes many forms, including fake news, audio-video impersonations, data falsification, and more. It is linked to allegations of corruption and fraud against elected officials, which, once disambiguated (whether true or false), will in all cases require immediate action to preserve democracy. An integrated strategy to combat disinformation and corruption is needed, requiring constant vigilance, due diligence, and open-source intelligence (OSINT) collaboration. Our PDS will explore how AI, especially LLMs and Knowledge Graphs, can serve this purpose and automate the necessary means to combat hybrid threats to democracy. The PDS will cover the following issues and latest research advances, allowing also interactive roundtables to ensure participants can contribute insight to the debate: 1. Presentation: fighting jointly against disinformation and corruption 2. Roundtable: what innovations are most effective in combating hybrid threats? 3.
