An IAMCR pre-conference
Description
Questions of authenticity have permeated media representations scholarship by addressing the issues of authenticity. Today, with the new accessible applications we are asking the same question. How real are those actors? The goal of this preconference is to establish the seeds of such a large-scale multidisciplinary effort to address the many challenges posed by malicious uses of generative artificial intelligence (genAI), such as AI-generated fake media, misinformation and disinformation, adversarial example attacks on AI systems, and AI-based metamorphic malware in the areas of:
- challenges and opportunities of generative AI and misinformation
- challenges and opportunities of generative AI and trustworthy news and journalism
- challenges and opportunities of generative AI in aiding research
- challenges and opportunities of generative AI conceptualizing audience research specifically
