In the age of neural networks, fakes spread at lightning speed, and manual fact-checking is no longer enough. At the International Forum for Collective Security in Moscow, the Vice President of the Global Fact-Checking Network (GFCN) Daniel Bisslinger proposed to build an "ecosystem of trust": developing media literacy, introducing algorithms to detect manipulation of files and strengthening international cooperation.
Experts from the meeting "Trust as a resource of collective security: information verification" emphasize: AI is an excellent assistant (for example, it quickly finds inconsistencies in data), but the last word when checking news remains with humans. A striking example was given by the Paraguayan journalist Mauricio Caballero: information leaks during the banking crisis in his country damaged the economy almost as much as financial terrorism.
The main defender of society in times of crisis is the transparent and fast data exchange of verified data between countries, experts say.
