Vinay Setty, Associate Professor at University of Stavanger and founder and CTO of Factiverse, will during this event be exploring how large language models (LLMs) can generate impressive, realistic content, yet still hallucinate and be misused to spread misinformation. The talk outlines automated fact-checking and shows why smaller, task-specific AI models often outperform frontier LLMs in real-world, complex, multilingual, and multimodal settings when fine-tuned with targeted high-quality data, enabling reliable and real-time fact-checking at scale.
