Meet the Future Conference – 29 June 2023 – Panel 4

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 4: Technological and strategic approaches to detecting and countering AI-generated content

This panel showcases some of the work of four EC co-funded research projects that deal with challenges in the disinformation sphere, in particular how to detect AI-generated content. It outlines and portrayshow AI-driven tools, solutions and approaches can also support in digital content analysis and its verification. Contributors will present some of their research undertakings and outcomes, while also discussing respective challenges as well as chosen approaches. Taken together, the session will showcase different avenues in countering disinformation and highlight the role of AI in this context.
