Truth is in the Eyes of the Machines - Symposium

How do misinformation and hate speech fuel and influence each other? How can sustainable and FAIR data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) be developed to independently investigate misinformation and hate speech? How robust are generative AI models at detecting and actively countering information disorders?

These research questions will guide the Research Semester Programme on Misinformation Detection and Countering in the era of Large Language Models. The Programme will be organised along three full-day workshops, with keynotes and breakout sessions. This workshops will be held on 9 May at CWI in Amsterdam.

Other dates of this research semester programme are on 23 May (Groningen) and 20 June 2025 (Amsterdam). The organisers are Davide Ceolin (CWI, Human-Centered Data Analytics), Anastasia Giachanou (Utrecht University, Department of Methodology and Statistics) and Tommaso Caselli (University of Groningen, Jantina Tammes School).
