UTS Global Game Changers - Faking It - Information Integrity, AI and the Law

Join this event in-person at our Sydney campus, or online via a live Zoom webinar. 

Faking It - Information Integrity, AI and the Law

With the advent of generative AI, manipulation of information and data is taking a new turn. Deepfakes and AI generated and propagated misinformation and disinformation are proliferating online.

These trends are already undermining the reliability of news, disrupting elections, challenging democratic processes, and infringing rights globally. As automation rapidly expands the reach and scale of this phenomenon, policy and regulation are often held back by a lack of agreed principles and priorities.

In the third episode of our Global Game Changers series, we explore different dimensions of this problem and how we might go about tackling some of its more insidious effects.

Event check in opens up from 5pm for a 6pm start.
