🌐 #UnveiltheTruth2026 has come to an end!
Two days in Yerevan brought together experts and practitioners to explore who shapes reality — from election disinformation and hybrid threats to synthetic media, digital sovereignty and platform algorithms.
#WhoShapesReality
🗣️ “What I’m worried about with chronological feeds is that the algorithm can be gamed through engagement. When it comes to solutions, is a decentralized system” — Victoire Rio, What to Fix, at #UnveilTheTruth2026, during the panel “Monetising Attention.”
#WhoShapesReality
🗣️ “In terms of AI, the question is: who controls the interpretation of information? What AI does is to summarize information for us, so it creates a great deal of control for any government." — Eto Buziashvili, from the Atlantic Council, during the panel.
#UnveilTheTruth2026
With the new AI law in Russia, if developers want government contracts, they have to comply with Russia’s political environment. This will affect what the model answers to questions and what terms it uses to describe things.
🎤 Panel highlight:
“I do believe that knowledge-based preparedness is one of the most powerful tools in the resilience toolkit against disinformation.” — Oleksandra Tsekhanovska from the Centre for Information Resilience.

Dr. Vivian S. Walker, Public Diplomacy Expert, opened the conference with insights on influence, information integrity & democratic resilience.
💬 “In a democracy, reality must remain contestable. It cannot be dictated”.
“The democratic defense against manipulation is not censorship, but strong, trustworthy and accessible media”— Dr. Maxim Ryabkov, DW Akademie, at #UnveilTheTruth2026 in Yerevan.
#Whoshapesreality
"Information manipulation does not stop at borders, our response to it must therefore also be collaborative"- said Tamar Kintsurashvili, Executive Director of the MDF & Editor-in-Chief of Myth Detector, in her opening remarks at the #UnveiltheTruth2026 conference in Yerevan.
