Ny Keynote speaker: mark Little, CEO, KInzen
''How to fight disinformation'' er emnet, som CEO fra Kinzen, Mark Little, vil snakke om på årets MediaTech Festival 2022.
Kinzen som er en irsk-baseret start-up, arbejder med at beskytte samfundet mod truslen om disinformation. Disinformation er mere end bare de skøre og forkerte ting, som familie og venner deler online. Desinformation har til hensigt at reducere niveauet af tillid til alt, hvad vi ser på internettet. I dag sker dén måde, som vi opretter, deler og forbruger information på i et hidsigt tempo og i et hidtil uset omfang. Med den konstante udvikling af sociale medier bliver folk hele tiden bombarderet med indhold, og uden en udpeget gatekeeper bliver forbrugerne udnyttet og overvældet - og det er her, at disinformation starter.
I Keynoten vil Mark Little give publikum et indblik ind i hvordan disinformation kan forhindres, hvordan Kinzen arbejder med at stoppe disinformation og hvorfor problemet er udfordrende at løse.
Mød Mark Little på hovedscenen onsdag 1. juni (dag 1) på MCO MediaTech Festival.
