Fact or fake? The impact of new technologies on misinformation and the culture of truth

Description

This masterclass will start from a recent fact to explore the root causes of infobesity and infodemia. It will decipher the mechanisms of post-truth, the evolution of information methods, while engaging the audience in a discussion of cognitive biases and the challenges posed by AI and foreign influences.

Resume

Une masterclass sur la désinformation est animée par Thomas HUCHON, un journaliste spécialisé dans le debunking des fake news. Il explique comment la désinformation affecte la société, les entreprises et la démocratie. Il donne des exemples concrets comme l'affaire Vinci, RTE et Crystalline. Il met en garde contre les effets de l'infobésité, l'asymétrie argumentative et l'effet Dunning-Kruger. Il souligne l'importance de diversifier les sources d'information, de se méfier de l'immédiateté et de se former pour résister aux fake news. Une évaluation sur les fake news est proposée pour sensibiliser le public à ce phénomène. Ce résumé a été généré par une IA.
