Driving the Truth Tech Initiative

The Truth Tech Initiative of Media Party dedicated to strengthening trust in information ecosystems. Its main mission is to create a portfolio of companies’ AI-powered technologies and innovative solutions that improve content credibility, starting from the recognition that “truth will be as scarce as drinking water in the future.” The goal is to promote technologies that restore public confidence and protect against manipulative influence.

Truth Tech is defined as a vertical that integrates knowledge and innovation from a broad spectrum of disciplines, including content creation, AI ethics, behavioral science, cybersecurity, neuroscience, computer vision, blockchain, and learnings from sectors such as adtech and finance.

The initiative focuses on creating and supporting technologies that build trustworthy, sustainable, and cognitively independent information ecosystems, seeking to empower individuals with critical thinking skills, promote informed decision-making, and protect against manipulative influence through transparent, ethical, and, where possible, decentralized solutions.

Key topics will include Ethics in the development and use of artificial intelligence and the information integrity against misinformation. One of these workshops -invitation only- will be hosted by Sasa Vucinic from North Base Media.

Keynote talks with global leaders, Lightning Talks with agile ideas, and workshops focused on agile methodologies, product design, and artificial intelligence will be offered. These spaces will serve as Preparation and contextualization for hackathon projects.
