AI vs. Reality: How Communities Can Outsmart Disinformation
In a time where artificial intelligence can fabricate audio, images, and videos with alarming realism, disinformation is evolving into one of the most urgent threats to social cohesion and democratic resilience. From fake news to deepfakes, AI-generated content can confuse, divide, and even endanger societies—especially the most vulnerable groups.
This interactive online event, hosted by Januam, brings together leading voices from Europe and beyond to shed light on the challenges posed by AI-based disinformation and to explore practical, psychological, and community-based strategies for building resilience against it.
Together, we will:
- Raise awareness about AI-generated disinformation and its impact on communities.
- Equip participants with practical tools and strategies to identify and counteract manipulation—both in daily life and in professional contexts.
- Explore the role of psychological resilience and inoculation theory.
- Highlight how community leaders and social entrepreneurs can foster digital trust and promote collective integrity.
