Truth Is in the Eyes of the Machines
May - June 2025
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 Program will be organized along three full-day workshops, with keynotes and breakout sessions. The workshops will be held on May 8-9 (Amsterdam), May 23 (Groningen) and June 20, 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).
