Recent tools such as Deepfakes and GPTx as well as bots that can convincingly mimic human behaviour are a fundamental challenge to liberal democracy and market economy, as countermeasures such as fact checking and media literacy programmes reach their limits. In this session, we consider privacy-protecting digital identities as a more powerful approach, providing another level of eSafety.
