In an era defined by trolls, Chatbots, misinformation and disinformation, truth and lies can be indistinguishable. The Matter of Facts takes audiences to the frontline of the global information wars, where information is manipulated to influence what we believe, how we behave and who we vote for.
The ABC will premiere their new three-part documentary series ‘The Matter of Facts’ on Tuesday the 24th of March. In the series Hamish Macdonald meets leading experts to explore the spread of disinformation, the rise of AI and the way it is transforming our world, and what it will take for facts to survive the new digital ecosystem.
Join us for a special premiere screening of the third and final episode followed by a live panel discussion and Q&A moderated by a special guest from the ABC and featuring:
- Lizzie O’Shea - Digital Rights Watch co-founder and Chair
- Gordon Farrer - Lecturer in fact-checking and verification at RMIT
- Cass Knowlton - Deputy news director of The Age
