Roundtable: When AI Rewrites the News: Press, Platforms, and Democracy Under Pressure

Nov 30, 2026 | 2:15 PM - 3:05 PM

Description

A few months away from the presidential elections, generative AI is not just producing content—it is rewriting the rules of the information game. With media outlets automating their processes, algorithms optimized for engagement at the expense of truth, and large-scale disinformation... we are seeing confused citizens and democracies under pressure. And somewhere along the chain, there are the engineers who wrote the code. This roundtable aims to identify responsibilities, decode the underlying mechanisms, and address a concrete question: as Tech Leaders, what can we—and what must we—do differently?
