How Can Fictional Futures Help Us Strengthen Truth
Imagine a world where reliable, well-sourced, and human-verified information is not only flourishing, but public trust in it is growing. Can such a world exist beyond fantasy fiction? How do we make it a reality?
We explore these questions by bringing together tech practitioners into conversation with fiction authors and journalists. In this session, our panelists will discuss:
- How fictional futures can help strengthen truth and facts online.
- Who are the heroes and antiheroes in the quest to protect the integrity of online information?
