Meet Us @ Global Media Forum 2025
,When? July 7th and July 8th.
Where? Bonn, Germany (Bundeskunsthalle + Kunstmuseum Bonn + DW HQ).
What is it? Let's recycle a concise summary from this blog: GMF is our broadcaster's big international conference, focusing on media, politics, and technology. This year's motto is: "Breaking barriers, building bridges". The organizers expect close to 1000 attendees and more than 100 speakers in Bonn.
Why are we there? Short answer: Once again, we're a part of the event.
More specifically, we're co-hosting a session called:
Spotting AI Fakes: Can You Beat the Machine?"
(Auditorium, Kunstmuseum Bonn, July 8th, 14:15h-15:45h, open to all ticket holders)
The teaser goes like this:
"AI or Not?" is a common question in journalism today when working with audio-visual content. Determining its authenticity can be challenging, but AI detectors can be a major help. We explore the complexities of advanced AI-generated content and the crucial interplay between human intuition and AI technology in media verification. Discover the strengths and weaknesses of AI detectors and learn how journalists and the public can enhance their ability to identify AI-generated content without relying on technology. Finally, test your skills in an interactive game to see who can spot the fakes better: you, or the machine?
The session, which is a join venture of DW Fact Check, DW Innovation, and the news-polygraph project, will combine presentations, interactive quizzes, and a Q&A plenary. Eva Lopez and Anna Schild will represent our team.
That said, other ReCos are likely to be around as well, both on July 7th and July 8th. So if you're in town and would like to discuss journalism, technology, and perspectives for R&D coop, don't hesitate to get in touch and ask for a coffee date.
