Information Disorder Challenges in the Era of AI-Generated Contents Manipulation: Security, Trustability and Faithfullness of Shared Knowledge- Special Session within the KES 2025 International Conference (http://kes2025.kesinternational.org/)

Details of Session:
The lexicon surrounding distorted information has shifted from "fake contents" (fake news, most of all) to "information disorder" a more comprehensive term, that encompasses three distinct categories:
 Misinformation, characterized by the inadvertent dissemination of falsehoods;
 Disinformation, defined by the deliberate spreading of false information with malicious
intent;
 Malinformation, the disclosure of authentic information to inflict harm, often involving
the exposure of private data.
"Fake news" can be placed within either the misinformation or disinformation categories. Propaganda,
a related concept, denotes the strategic dissemination of information, regardless of veracity, to
influence an audience, frequently with a political agenda.
The World Health Organization's introduction of the term "infodemic" underscores the critical
implications of information disorder, particularly during public health emergencies, where an
overabundance of information can undermine effective response efforts.
In this so challenging scenario, the rise of AI, along with the Generative Models have led to a surge in
manipulated media, making it harder to know and recognize what's real and where is the truth.
This Invited Session is designed with the aim to address this challenge by bringing together AI experts.
The goal is to create a playground for discussing about how to develop technological solutions, using AI, but not limited to it, how to identify and counter fake content and protect the integrity of digital contents, and evaluate the negative effects on several aspects of real human life, including manipulation of social behaviours and information literacy levels of current and next people generations. This session seeks research contributions that leverage AI and other technological patterns, as Federated Learning, Blockchains and Edge and Cloud Computing to assess media authenticity in a world where misinformation is rampant and proposals about metrics and evaluation methods of what is called with the comprehensive term of Information Disorder.
