Overview
This event will examine what regulatory and policy solutions are available to address online disinformation, particularly in the age of AI, and explore the impact of this growing threat on young people. This panel is a timely opportunity to explore different global approaches, starting with those adopted in Westminster, looking at Australia's social media restrictions and examining the more structural approach taken by the EU. AI has fundamentally changed the game when it comes to online disinformation, allowing for highly realistic and scalable synthetic content to take over our online spaces with implications for national security, fraud and trust in society. This event will take a holistic approach to the disinformation threat by exploring what solutions across both innovation and regulation can effectively meet the challenge.
