Artificial Intelligence

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, including Generative AI, bring about new challenges as well as opportunities related to online disinformation. The EDMO network together with its 14 EDMO Hubs is engaged in exploring the risks that artificial intelligence poses with respect to the impact and scope of online disinformation as well as the opportunities it opens for the development of new AI-powered technologies facilitating its detection and understanding.

The main envisaged actions for collaboration in the area are:

Bringing together hub members across the four areas of competence to explore key issues related to this topic, and eventually producing outputs

Fostering idea exploration, collaboration and development of initiatives that address the challenges brought about by Generative AI in its role in exacerbating disinformation – as well as ways AI technology can be leveraged to tackle disinformation

Hosting external speakers, presentations on best practices and spotlighting working projects operating in the space of Generative AI and disinformation

EU funded projects on AI in dialogue with EDMO

The EDMO community and its Europe-wide network of hubs have started cooperation with six European Commission co-funded research projects, which include research on AI methods for countering online disinformation.

In more detail, the focus of ongoing research is on detection of AI-generated content and development of AI-powered tools and technologies that support verification professionals and citizens with content analysis and verification.
