Abstract
The spread of generative AI, hybrid conflict and foreign information manipulation is reshaping the European security environment. The European Union is responding by moving beyond a narrow counter-disinformation approach towards a broader concept of cognitive security. Yet major gaps remain in enforcement, strategic coherence and democratic resilience.
