Keynote Speakers Dr. Esma Aïmeur Title: Fake News and Online Manipulation: the Post Truth Era Absract: Every day brings its share of manipulation, disinformation, rumor, and fake news. It is not easy to find yourself in this era of post truth. This situation is exacerbated by the power of new technologies and artificial intelligence algorithms. Fake news are everywhere, and manipulation permeates all aspects of society. It aims to influence our choices and behaviors for good and evil, but users lose control over their data in both cases. They find themselves blithely divulging their personal information on the Internet, thus falling prey to clever and underhanded manipulation on the part of social media, companies, organizations, or hackers. The consequences can be disastrous, including addiction, depression, behavioral problems, cyberbullying, identity theft, etc. This conference answers the following questions: How did we come at this state of large-scale fake news and online manipulation? How can artificial intelligence and new technologies fight against this tide while continuing with their significant advances? What ecosystem can we put in place for the future security of our society? Short Biography: Esma Aïmeur is Professor at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Montréal. She is the Director of the Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity laboratory. She obtained her PhD in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) from the University of Paris 6 (France). She works on privacy and security issues, applying artificial intelligence techniques to manage personal data in e-learning, finance and medicine. Her most recent research focuses on online deception, the ethics of artificial intelligence, social networks, security awareness, recommender systems, and preserving privacy.
