At the International Journalism Festival in Perugia that ran from 19-23 April 2023 I interviewed three media specialists with different expertise and work focus. I wanted to find out from them how they think recent advancements in (generative) Artificial Intelligence will impact the disinformation and fact-checking / verification sphere. Hear and see what Nic Newman (Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism), Maaarten Schenk (Lead Stories) and Felix Simon (Oxford Internet Institute) had to say on the matter.
