Explore the scientific perspectives

Use the playlist controls to select a recording. The talks explore complementary perspectives: how generative AI changes content production; how information manipulation spreads and affects people; how journalists and fact-checkers verify claims; and how technical, institutional and societal responses can reinforce one another. Individual recordings are indexed above using their playlist positions; two contributor labels still require verification.
