About the event

BBC Verify: Establishing truth in times of uncertainty - Kayleen Devlin
The focus of this talk will be around some of the main tools and techniques used by BBC Verify to establish the veracity of an event. Using a few examples from warzones and political campaigns, the talk will demonstrate some of the main ways that content has been challenged or confirmed, and touch upon some of the challenges posed by - and approaches to dealing with - generative AI.

Kayleen Devlin is a Senior Journalist working for BBC Verify, having joined from BBC Monitoring's disinformation team. Her work has spanned warzones and elections, including an exclusive investigation into levels of damage and destruction across all of Gaza's water facilities, explainers and fact-checks on US government figures and policies, and in the early days of the Ukraine war she worked on multiple pieces around war crimes, including the BBC's first investigation into the use of cluster bombs in Ukraine.
