As part of the 2025 AI Action Summit and the launch of the PostGenAI@Paris Cluster, SCAI's "Responsible AI" initiative is offering a series of conferences on the issues and risks associated with the use of new tools developed on AI.
By addressing the implications of AI in various fields such as the environment, law, security, politics and economics, the objective of this series of conferences is to raise awareness among the general public of the impact and limits of AI-based technologies.
Each conference in the series consists of an introductory presentation given by an expert, followed by a round table bringing together scientific and non-scientific actors (from the socio-economic, political, industrial sectors, etc.).
The event is free and open to all audiences subject to availability of places, upon registration (registration here).
The first conference, which will be held on January 9, 2025, will focus on the links between generative AI and disinformation on the Internet.
The term “generative AI” covers technologies capable of producing original content, whether text, images, videos or music, from a set of instructions or training data. These systems, often based on complex machine learning models, use massive amounts of data to learn to create content that is often difficult to distinguish from that generated by humans. While it offers extraordinary opportunities in fields such as artistic creation, medicine or education, generative AI also raises ethical questions, particularly in terms of disinformation.
Disinformation refers to the intentional dissemination of false information with the aim of misleading or manipulating public opinion. On the Internet, it takes various forms: misleading articles, deepfake videos, manipulated photos, or even massive opinion-sharing campaigns on social networks, most often facilitated by the creation of fake accounts created to amplify false stories. As content processing and creation technologies evolve, these practices rely on increasingly sophisticated methods, making the detection and removal of such content increasingly difficult.
In this context, we will see to what extent generative AI can be considered as an actor in current and future disinformation campaigns on the Internet, and more particularly on social networks.
