On Monday, November 11, 2024, ICI Bucharest organised a session with Elizabeth B. Charnock, CEO of the American company Chenope, an event that brought together leaders in the field of technology and cyber security in a small setting.
During the meeting, Mrs. Charnock, known for her pioneering contributions to developing anti-disinformation technologies, shared insights into the complex challenges in the fight against disinformation and cyber security, emphasising the importance of international collaboration and constant innovation in combating these phenomena.
Attendees benefited from Mrs. Charnock's expertise in cyber and information security, gained over an impressive career that included the role of CEO of Cataphora, a leading digital investigations company. The session explored innovative solutions for protecting data and information of public interest and ways in which technology can become a powerful ally in preventing disinformation and information manipulation.
This session is part of a series of initiatives supported by ICI Bucharest, which aims to provide Romanian professionals with access to top international expertise in strategic areas such as cyber security and artificial intelligence.
Developing and testing artificial intelligence solutions requires computing resources and technical expertise that not all companies have at their disposal. The services offered by the European BSC AI Factory project to address these needs were presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at GoTech World 2026, held on 10–11 November at Romexpo.
How can virtual and augmented reality technologies help people prepare for emergencies, improve interactions with public services, or create new ways of learning? These were among the applications presented by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest at the “1st Regional Workshop to Strengthen the Central, Eastern European and Balkan Virtual Worlds Ecosystem”, held in Budapest, Hungary.
How can Europe prepare for the security challenges of the coming years, amid geopolitical instability, hybrid threats, and the rapid development of new technologies?
