The advent of AI-generated content (AIGC) offers unmatched creativity and productivity but also presents significant societal challenges. AIGC accelerates the pace of human society entering an unprecedented era of information bombardment. Every day we are swamped by such a huge number of texts, videos, audio, emails, and posts that are far beyond what one can distinguish, leaving alone timely digest. The Internet and the social media are key game-changers in exploiting rights and freedoms. They give the opportunity for spreading limitless fake photos, reports, and "opinions". Recent deepfake video “attacks” on some public scenarios have raised more concerns. Misinformation may actually cause disturbance in our society and ruin the foundation of trust. Government agencies like the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and National Security Agency (NSA) are concerned about losing the war against misinformation that uses popular ML techniques to automatically incorporate artificial components into existing video streams. Under the umbrella of Disruptive Technologies in Information Sciences VII, we will host the 3rd edition of the Special Session for Detecting and Deterring Misinformation and Deception focusing on Disseminating Education on Counteracting Erroneous Information, Verifying Evidence, and Reporting (DECEIVER). The DECEIVER session aims at bringing researchers and experts together to present and discuss the latest developments and technical solutions concerning various aspects of rebuilding a trust foundation in the era of rumor, misinformation, and disinformation.
This panel is part of the Disruptive Technologies in Information Sciences conference.
