How can Artificial Intelligence Combat Disinformation?

This event is part of an ongoing collaboration between Monash Law and Monash IT focusing on Ethics in AI.

Social media use has given rise to many public policy concerns about so-called ‘fake news’: unwitting misinformation and deliberate disinformation.

In this Changemakers event, we explore the different multidisciplinary challenges this presents, and some solutions being deployed. With 6 expert speakers from a variety of backgrounds, we explore fundamental questions in how Artificial Intelligence, digital technology more broadly and law and public policy can regulate disinformation.

Who is responsible and who can be held to account? Are the same politicians and social media giants both the cause of the problem and the source of the proclaimed solution?

We will look at the scientific research that can help us safeguard democracy and free expression, including citizens’ right to be informed.

This event will be held in person and online via Zoom.
