The Matter of Facts: AI and Misinformation

"In an era defined by trolls, chatbots, and disinformation, truth and lies can be indistinguishable. The Matter of Facts takes audiences to the frontline of the global information wars, where information is manipulated to influence what we believe, how we behave and who we vote for."

The ABC will broadcast their new three-part documentary series ‘The Matter of Facts’ from the end of March. Hamish Macdonald meets leading experts to explore the spread of disinformation, the rise of AI, and what it will take for facts to survive.

Join us for a special premiere screening of the third and final episode followed by a live panel discussion.

• Lizzie O’Shea (Digital Rights Watch co-founder and chair)

• Gordon Farrer (RMIT Lecturer in fact-checking and verification), and

• Cass Knowlton (Deputy news director of The Age)

Panel to be moderated by a special ABC guest, ABC Melbourne's Lisa Leong.

The Matter of Facts premieres Tuesday 24 March on ABC TV and ABC iview.
