(dramatic music)

00:12.259 --> 00:15.568
- I think about half a year ago, there was a story

00:15.568 --> 00:19.735
about the U.S. sending 3,600 tanks to Eastern Europe,

00:21.245 --> 00:25.210
which was a fake story, and actually was run, as we believe,

00:25.210 --> 00:28.377
on purpose, to look like a real story,

00:29.298 --> 00:31.800
and was amplified by robotic networks,

00:31.800 --> 00:35.967
by the network of fake news sites, et cetera, et cetera.

00:40.825 --> 00:42.977
When you look at the fake news,

00:42.977 --> 00:47.144
it not only touches every person, it also touches a society,

00:47.147 --> 00:49.236
and the security of the countries.

00:49.236 --> 00:51.970
So it is not only about a nuisance

00:51.970 --> 00:53.896
that you try to get rid of,

00:53.896 --> 00:57.450
it can get at the very core elements of who we are,

00:57.450 --> 01:00.993
and what we are, and we need to find a way how we

01:00.993 --> 01:03.243
protect from these impacts.

01:07.506 --> 01:11.082
- So I'm born in the U.S.S.R. We always had fake news,

01:11.082 --> 01:14.069
in my childhood, we had just fake news.

01:14.069 --> 01:16.996
Because everything was according to ideology.

01:16.996 --> 01:20.255
When we learn about other countries, for example U.S.A.,

01:20.255 --> 01:23.446
we learned how bad people are living in U.S.A.

01:23.446 --> 01:25.309
And not only U.S.A. that I heard about,

01:25.309 --> 01:27.200
also other Western countries.

01:27.200 --> 01:29.493
And when I first traveled to Western countries,

01:29.493 --> 01:31.747
I was quite surprised and impressed that it's

01:31.747 --> 01:33.414
not what I was told.

01:47.480 --> 01:49.794
- There have been some projects which try to

01:49.794 --> 01:52.981
gamify fake news, or at least creation of fake news,

01:52.981 --> 01:56.592
and this was an app which would work like Tinder,

01:56.592 --> 01:59.253
and it would give an opportunity for people

01:59.253 --> 02:01.624
to compete against each other, against friends,

02:01.624 --> 02:04.480
and see which news are fake and which are not.

02:04.480 --> 02:07.230
