The Artificial Intelligence<\/strong> and its role in shaping truth in the digital age<\/strong> was one of the issues discussed at the 11th Delphi 2026 Economic Forum.<\/p>\n

At the heart of the discussion, which was entitled “Artificial Intelligence and the Battle for Truth in the Digital Age”, Minister Digital Governance<\/b> Dimitris Papastergiou<\/strong> said that “whether AI ultimately brings more truth or more misinformation: we have deified the technology<\/strong>, but I believe that the absolute acceptance<\/strong> of what AI models provide has already led us to many wrong conclusions<\/strong>,” he commented and continued:<\/p>\n

“We should, after the excitement and sensationalism, get down<\/strong> and put things in perspective. To help people, and especially new kids<\/strong>, look for truth more deeply<\/strong> beyond summaries and descriptions. The quick and easy “truth” of AI is not always the real truth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

About how the state can put the brakes on something that spreads digitally<\/b> much faster than official announcements and denials: The first thing to do is to see how false, fabricated news<\/strong> doesn’t get past the filters of the platforms. A fake news story runs very fast when it passes through social media<\/strong>. Platforms make money from such content, so they let it go when they can tell it’s fabricated. This is where Europe needs to put up barriers<\/strong>. It cannot be done only at the national level. In the context of the European common market, Europe must force platforms to stop spreading false videos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If there is a way to react through legislation: There is the DSA (Digital Services Act)<\/strong>, which states that anyone who is aggrieved can go to the relevant body (in Greece it is EETT<\/strong>), which in turn notifies the platform. However, this process, although relatively fast, remains slower than the dissemination of the news itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On the issue of anonymity in internet<\/strong>. Platforms should be forced to ask for identifiers<\/strong>. Now this is technically possible. We need to end anonymity<\/strong>. Even if someone writes under a pseudonym, it should be possible to identify them if a legal issue arises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

For the next step regarding control of misinformation<\/b>: We need to go to regulation of AI-generated content<\/strong>, so that it is clear to the user that it is an AId product<\/strong>. If there were responsible platforms, there would also be responsible information<\/strong>. But because profit often comes first, intervention at the European level<\/strong> is one way to protect our democracies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
