IDeaS Center for Informed Democracy & Social-cybersecurity

Carnegie Mellon University's Center for Informed Democracy & Social - cybersecurity (IDeaS) is hosting a summit on AI & Disinformation, with invited faculty and experts throughout the US. Recently there have been a number of advances in AI, changes in social media platforms, new and evolving legal challenges, and an increasing understanding of the nature of disinformation and how to use it to effect social and economic outcomes. It is time to take stock of the state of the field, identify gaps, and share insights to foster the next decade of research and practice in this area. These are the issues addressed in this summit. There will be a series of panels and general discussion. 

Participation is invite only but panels will be livestreamed. Virtual participants will be able to listen but not be able to participate in Q&A. Please use the link below to register for virtual participation. No registration is needed for in-person participants.
