How do you know what to believe?

That question — once reserved for philosophers and journalists — now sits at the heart of our everyday digital experience. Every time we scroll, search, or ask a voice assistant a question, algorithms are shaping our perception of reality.

On January 26, Prof. Zavolokina will be speaking at WAVE 2026 in Geneva to explore this theme: “How do AI systems shape our perception of truth?”

In her talk and the panel discussions with other experts from academia, media, and public sphere, she will explore:

  • How digital tools shape perception through design, not just content
  • Why algorithmic transparency isn’t enough without accountability
  • What we’ve learned from interventions aimed at increasing resilience to manipulation

If you’re interested in the intersection of AI, digital design, and public trust, we hope you’ll join us.
