Trench Tech All Star 26: AI and Disinformation on the Road to 2027

A live public recording of the annual all-star episode of Trench Tech, the French tech-criticism podcast hosted by Cyrille Chaudoit and Mick Levy, on AI and disinformation ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The question on the table is whether AI is already in the voting booth. Guests are Chine Labbe of NewsGuard, which rates news sites for reliability, the neuroscientist Nadia Guerouaou, and Romane Maltnoy, the person behind the aqua-poney viral hoax. The show bills itself as neither technophile nor technophobe, and runs a guest expert plus short counterpoint columns each episode. Thursday 29 October at Cap Digital in the 10th. Free, registration through Eventbrite. Why go: the guest mix — a disinformation rater, a neuroscientist and someone who actually built a viral fake — is a sharper panel than the standard AI-ethics line-up, and you are in the room while it is recorded. Best for people working on content, trust and safety, or civic tech.
