Meet the Future Conference – 29 June 2023 – Panel 2 & 3
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 2: Policy implications and challenges to fight disinformation
At the time Chat GPT is making the headlines, the EU is currently deciding on regulation that could have a direct impact on AI use on the continent. Are existing regulations enough to cover all AI issues related to disinformation? Can the Code of Practice against disinformation be a model? In this session, we’ll try to design a potential future application of existing mechanisms and new regulations by some key stakeholders.

Panel 3:The role of critical thinking in addressing Future AI tools to fight disinformation
The panel is dedicated to stimulating the discussion on an interdisciplinary approach to the fight against disinformation. Specifically, we will discuss how generative AI can foster Critical Thinking among citizens, media professionals, and internet users. We have invited a philosopher, a couple of artists fromLA, and a psychologist, each of whom can suggest different approaches to discovering new perspectives in the interaction between media, art, and generative AI, specifically in the disinformation context. It is our vision and hopes that critical thinking and Socratic dialogical methodologies will cultivate a self-reflective attitude in citizens and promote a fact-checking mindset in the society.
