はじめに偽情報の現状について4人の有識者の講演が行われ、生成AIの登場で見分けることが難しい精巧な偽情報が大幅に増えていることや、投稿者や拡散の流れをチェックして対策を進めていく重要性などが指摘されました

First, four experts gave lectures on the current state of disinformation, and explained that with the advent of generative AI, the amount of sophisticated disinformation that is difficult to distinguish has increased significantly, and that countermeasures should be taken by checking the posters and the flow of dissemination. The importance of moving forward was pointed out.
