In today's world, there is a trend toward the development of digital technologies and artificial intelligence. At this time, society is faced with new ethical issues and challenges related to information security, cultural heritage, and historical memory. Modern media technologies allow the creation of highly realistic content — deepfakes, falsified videos, and forgeries are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the original. This undermines trust in information and necessitates the search for new methods of protecting the truth and historical memory. Speakers will discuss the role of artificial intelligence in shaping cultural space, issues of national identity in the age of global technology, and opportunities for educational work to improve media literacy. Particular attention will be paid to how to preserve historical memory and ensure the responsible use of new media tools for future generations.
Speakers:
Elena Yaremenko, Director of the Institute of Animation and Digital Technologies; Dean of the Faculty of Animation and Multimedia, VGIK.
