Trust at Scale: Who Owns the Facts in the AI Era?

You ask AI a question and get an answer in seconds — but where did its facts and opinions come from, how were they verified, and who controls tomorrow’s truth? As ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini rewire the business model of the Internet, the exchange of open web content for attention and advertising is being replaced by AI systems of varying transparency that ingest, synthesize, and deliver our information. The stakes for accuracy, attribution, and accountability have never been higher. Join Lauren Woodman (President, USAFacts), Anna Tumadóttir (CEO, Creative Commons), Justine Gauthier (VP Legal and General Counsel, LawZero), and Fawad Qureshi (Global Field CTO, Snowflake) for a debate about who controls the information powering AI, who profits from it, and who's responsible when it breaks. Wednesday May 6th at NYU Stern Doors open: 5:30pm Panel begins: 6:15pm A reception and networking hour will follow.
