The Dark Side of GenAI: Unmasking AI Role in the Fake News Epidemic
Artificial Intelligence is no longer just a tool for analysis; it's now a powerful generator, capable of crafting realistic content at an unprecedented scale. This session explores the concerning evolution of AI's role in creating and spreading fake news.
We'll begin by looking at the power of AI-driven content generation and its implications for public discourse. Then, we'll move from theory to practice, demonstrating how to vibe code a convincing fake newspaper website in a matter of minutes.
By the end of this talk, attendees will gain a critical understanding of the urgent challenges and the defenses we need to navigate our evolving information landscape.

Repetita Non Iuvant: Why Generative AI Models Cannot Feed Themselves
As AI floods the digital landscape with content, what happens when it starts repeating itself?
This talk explores model collapse, a progressive erosion where LLMs and image generators loop on their own results, hindering the creation of novel output.
We will show how self-training leads to bias and loss of diversity, examine the causes of this degradation, and quantify its impact on model creativity.
Finally, we will also present concrete strategies to safeguard the future of generative AI, emphasizing the critical need to preserve innovation and originality.
By the end of this talk, attendees will gain insights into the practical implications of model collapse, understanding its impact on content diversity and the long-term viability of AI.
