Here are some insights from the "AI as part of the solution" panel at the #EDMOeu annual conference.
1) AI improves the quality and quantity of disinformation
2) AI can be used for detection, investigation and dissemination
3) AI helps to map the actors of disinformation
4) AI helps to understand narratives and how they circulate
5) AI is great for helping humans understand and identify patterns
6) AI and generative AI need human oversight and human-in-the-loop approaches.

A Russian Facebook page organized a protest in Texas. A different Russian page launched the counterprotest.
