WASHINGTON: The Trust In Media Cooperative (TIM) and the Information Professionals Association (IPA), two organizations committed to promoting quality information and media transparency, will be co-hosting their first-ever symposium, Beyond the Noise – Elevating Information Quality in a Generative AI Era on October 28 in Washington D.C.
“False information and influence campaigns are a major security concern for everyone in the U.S. – no matter where they live, their political affiliation, or background,” said Brian Murphy, President of IPA. “This symposium is an opportunity to bring together subject-matter-experts and decision-makers to build solutions around easily accessible, quality information.”
The symposium will explore what defines information quality, the dual role of AI in narrative attacks and defenses and how improving information quality can protect Americans from foreign influence campaigns.
The event, taking place weeks before the 2024 U.S. election, will showcase TIM’s AI-enabled Election Integrity Dashboard, a free tool that provides information and insights on election operations.
“Elections are a very important topic right now especially given the concern around trust in the electoral process,” said the Honorable Ellen McCarthy, founder & CEO of TIM. “We created this dashboard to provide access to verified information on election procedures, polling, and operations in state elections. We believe if people have access to accurate election information, then they will veer towards high-quality data.”
