Access to accurate and reliable information is essential for combating disinformation and protecting democracy. In a digital environment where false information can spread rapidly, technologies such as artificial intelligence and blockchain can help verify information, identify manipulated content, and ensure data traceability. Dr. Eng. Adrian-Victor Vevera, General Director of ICI Bucharest, participated in the scientific conference “Combating Disinformation: A Shield for Democracy” on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, held at Titu Maiorescu University in Bucharest, where he addressed the participants.
The event aimed to strengthen security awareness and identify ways to respond to the challenges posed by disinformation and hybrid threats. ICI Bucharest has addressed these challenges through research and cooperation initiatives, including its collaboration with AGERPRES to use artificial intelligence for analyzing and distributing reliable information.
The institute has also organized meetings with international experts focused on technological solutions for combating disinformation and protecting information of public interest. The conference was organized by Titu Maiorescu University in Bucharest, together with the Romanian Academy of Scientists, through its Military Sciences Section.
Analyzing cryptocurrency transactions may require correlating information from different sources and tools. How these can be integrated to support digital forensic investigations was the focus of the dissemination event “Cryptoassets and Digital Forensics: Integrated Solutions for Investigations”, organized by ICI Bucharest on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
Access to high-performance computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence expertise can be a challenge for businesses and public institutions looking to develop or test new digital solutions. However, some of these resources are available through European initiatives that support organisations interested in adopting advanced technologies.
Who is responsible when an artificial intelligence system causes harm? Is it enough for a company to purchase an AI solution from a trusted provider, or does it also have its own responsibilities regarding the security and use of that system? These questions were discussed during the panel “The AI Act in Practice: Who Is Really Accountable for Your AI?”, held on 2 November at AI Expo Europe 2026 in Bucharest.
