Meet the Future Conference – 29 June 2023 – Panel 1
Artificial Intelligence-generated content (generative AI, for example, ChatGPT, DALL.E, or Midjourney) has garnered significant attention recently due to its ability to create cheaply and at scale credible-looking artificial content, including text, deep fake images and videos, art, and music. Generative AI systems are capable of creating highly convincing content at low cost, which could then be harnessed by bad actors in online disinformation and abuse, and is difficult to detect.
Watch the Panel video below of the Conference Meet the Future of AI: Countering sophisticated & advanced disinformation – organised by The new Horizon Europe projects vera.ai, AI4TRUST, and TITAN, and H2020 project AI4Media, which develop novel AI techniques to counter online disinformation, in particular in light of the recent advances on generative AI.
Panel 1: Threats and opportunities of generative AI for mis- and disinformation.
Generative AI systems can create astonishing texts, sound and voices, which beyond stimulating creativity can also be exploited by malicious actors of all sort. However, AI systems present convincing opportunities to tackle abuse and disinformation by assisting media professionals, engaged citizens,and debunkers. This panel will explore the intersections of artificial intelligence and disinformation,discussing the potential threats it poses and the opportunities it offers.
