As mass media and social networks develop, they are increasingly becoming tools for manipulating public opinion. In the post-truth era, fake news poses a particular threat. Due to low media culture and catchy sensational headlines, fake news goes viral and significantly distorts reality. Representatives of major media outlets, media culture experts, and Russian and foreign media policy-makers will discuss where fake news comes from, how it spreads and, most importantly, what goal it pursues.

Modern conceptions of cyber security mainly revolve around two mutually exclusive ideas. On the one hand, countries speak more than ever about digital sovereignty and having their own cyber forces, designed to protect digital borders from external attacks. On the other hand, fighting electronic terrorism and international cybercrime requires coordinating the efforts of governments, businesses and civil organizations all over the world. Experts from Russia, China and Europe will discuss how to strike a balance between these two approaches.

Moderator: Alexey Lukatsky, Cisco

Experiments with neural networks and deep learning have created systems that can process information using fuzzy logic that is more typical of living beings than computers. So far, these systems have a very limited use such as voice and graphics recognition, personal electronic assistants, search systems for implicit links between events and phenomena, or forecasting. Representatives of major international companies working with artificial intelligence will speak about current AI applications, its future potential and whether we should beware of the rise of machines
