Vincent shares highlights from the Global Fact 11 Summit in Sarajevo, where the strained relationship between fact-checkers and platforms was a hot topic.

Vincent addresses the evolving nature of disinformation with AI-generated content, which, while still limited in spread, fosters doubt about information authenticity. Les Surligneurs' \"legal checking\" methdology is showcased. This focuses on verifying legal claims with impartial experts. Vincent highlights how AI tools are helping accelerate the formation of fact-checking units in conflict prone areas. Finally, Vincent discusses the future of fact-checking, emphasising collaboration with researchers and media literacy organisations</p><h3><br></h3><p>01:17 - Takeaways from GlobalFact 11</p><p>03:54 - Disinformation around the EU elections</p><p>09:38 - Challenges of AI and deepfakes</p><p>14:00 - Helping journalists know what the legal consensus is around issues</p><p>20:00 - Augmenting legal checking using AI</p><p>25:10 - EU AI Act and disinformation</p><p>27:21 - The relationship between platforms and fact-checkers</p><p>33:56 - Is the Digital Services Act muscular enough on disinformation?</p><p>37:47 - Fighting accusations fact-checkers being part of ‘censorship industrial complex’</p><p><br></p><h3>Further reading&nbsp;</h3><p><a href=\"https://www.lessurligneurs.eu/le-parlement-europeen-deux-lieux-de-travail-pour-une-institution-2/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Le Parlement Européen : deux lieux de travail pour une institution.
