Abstract:
How useful can machine-learning be in dealing with vectors of disinformation such as deep fakes or bots, and what are the implications of AI-powered fact-checking and deprioritising systems for media pluralism and freedom of expression?
Two new studies, launched by the European Science-Media Hub (ESMH) and the Panel for the Future of Science and Technology (STOA) at the European Parliament, unpack what has become an extremely complicated issue.
