Disinformation in the
years to come
Verifying Multimedia Content on the Internet
The arms race of disinformation…
Google Duplex scheduling a hair salon appointment:
Summary
• Media-based disinformation is complex!
• Misleading content tends to be shared more!
• There are several technologies available for tackling
the problem, each with its limitations
• Continuous improvement of AI-based methods is
expected to create an arms race of disinformation!
• Technology on its own is not sufficient: we need to
take into account the human and social facets of
the problem: media literacy!
Thank you for your attention!
