Deciphering Real Entities in a Digital Environment

In the rapidly evolving landscape of the digital world, it has become increasingly challenging to distinguish real entities from virtual or manipulated ones. The proliferation of digital platforms, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and deepfakes has blurred the boundaries between what is authentic and what is simulated. This conference aims to explore the complexities of this phenomenon and delve into the multidimensional aspects of deciphering real entities in a digital environment.
