✈️ Geneva ➡️ 🇱🇺Luxembourg ➡️🇨🇭Lausanne. Closing out 2024 with conversations on disinformation, AI and OSINT. Last week I joined the Ministère d'État - Service des médias, de la connectivité et de la politique numérique - Luxembourg to discuss the threat of disinformation to democracy.

It was great to be back in Vilnius this week for the annual European Broadcasting Union (EBU) News Assembly, kindly hosted by our colleagues at LRT. It was an excellent opportunity for me to speak with members, update them on the latest in #AI and #OSINT, and moderate a session on the AI landscape.
