Hi! PARIS Meet Up! on AI & Fake News Detection
Tuesday, June 9, 2026 — 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Station F (Central Room), Paris
As part of the Hi! PARIS Initiatives, a series designed to build thematic working groups around major societal challenges, an upcoming Meet Up on “AI & Fake News Detection” will take place on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at 6 PM, at STATION F (Central Room).
Artificial intelligence is changing the way false information is created, spread, and detected online. But behind that, there are still many open questions. How can we better identify coordinated influence campaigns? How do misleading arguments circulate on social platforms? What really works when it comes to detecting false or manipulative content? And how can research help public and private actors respond more effectively to these new information threats?
The next Hi! PARIS Meet Up will bring together researchers and practitioners for a cross-disciplinary discussion on misinformation, online influence, and the challenges they raise in the digital age.
Program
- Doors open at 5:45 PM.
- We’ll start at 6:00 PM with opening remarks.
- Our invited speakers will then share short insights to set the stage.
- The session will continue with a roundtable bringing together Hi! PARIS experts and industry voices, before opening the floor to an interactive Q&A with the audience. The evening will end with a networking cocktail.
