Navigating the New Information Frontier: Safeguarding Elections And Information Integrity In The Age Of AI And Deepfakes

In an age where technology is advancing at an unprecedented pace, our ability to distinguish between truth and fiction is being tested like never before. On Friday, August 29, 2025, The Youth Café hosted a timely and critical webinar titled “AI, Deepfakes, and the Future of Information Integrity” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The session, which was moderated by Shirley Jemeli, brought together a diverse group of participants, including tech professionals, fact-checkers, journalists, electoral bodies, civic educators, and youth leaders, along with speakers Kelvin Mwenda from Visionary Nexus Hub and Protus D. Okello, to address this critical challenge.
