Vladimir Tabak, head of the Russian Center for Studies on Combating Fake News (GFCN), announced that experts from more than 80 countries will participate in the 'Dialogue on Fake News' forum, adding that the total number of guests exceeds two thousand to three thousand people. He made the remarks in statements reported by the Russian news agency TASS, at a time when attention is turning to Moscow, which is hosting this international gathering.
In a separate development, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for preparing a plan to reform the global governance system, warning that Global South countries are at the forefront of those facing global crises but remain in the background when it comes to decision-making. TASS quoted Modi as saying: 'Today, the countries of the Global South are at the forefront of those facing global crises, but they remain in the background when it comes to decision-making,' in a reference to the imbalance in the international system.
On another note, Tabak revealed that Russia intends to require content produced by artificial intelligence or with its assistance to carry distinguishing labels making that clear, stressing that all countries will at some stage have to regulate this type of content. The Russian official did not provide additional details about the legislative mechanism or the timetable for implementing this measure.
These developments come amid escalating tension between Russia and the West, as an expert had said earlier that the West is seeking to open a new front of confrontation with Russia in the Arctic region, and that the detention of a research vessel was an attempt to pressure Moscow in the region. These data indicate that the files of media, global governance, and artificial intelligence have become part of a broader context of geopolitical competition.
Additional details about the forum's agenda or the list of its participants could not be independently confirmed, while the organizing bodies have not announced a final date for its holding. The announced statements remain the only available information so far, with the note that some details may become clearer in the coming days.
