Fighting Fire with Fire: Combating Disinformation with AI

Led by: Megan Marrelli & John Wihbey

Disinformation and declining trust in institutions pose some of the most pressing challenges for government communication today. This session brings together experts to explore strategies for countering false narratives, rebuilding credibility, and strengthening the public’s confidence in democratic institutions. Participants will gain insights into how proactive communication, transparency, and community engagement can help turn the tide against misinformation and restore trust.
