Protecting Your Brand in the Age of AI Misinformation
11
10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
AI-generated images, deepfake videos and fabricated influencer content are spreading faster than most brands can respond. One manipulated post can confuse customers, derail campaigns or damage trust overnight. This session gives marketing and comms leaders a practical hour on how to recognise emerging threats, assess the real risks to your brand and build a fast, confident response when misinformation hits.
Using real examples from consumer brands, visitor attractions, food and drink companies and education providers, we’ll show how misinformation flows, why it gains traction and the simple steps that help teams spot problems early. You’ll also see how small changes in workflow, governance and social listening make a big difference to how well you protect your brand when the pressure is on.
This session is for anyone responsible for brand reputation, campaign delivery, social content, influencer activity or crisis response, especially in sectors where customer trust can shift quickly.
