Affordable GenAI: The Power of Small Language Models

GenAI is becoming increasingly present in everyday organizational work, from drafting and summarizing reports to analyzing documents and translating content. Most public attention has focused on Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT from OpenAI or Claude from Anthropic. LLMs are powerful but typically require large computational resources and can be expensive to operate. In addition, providers of LLMs may not be fully transparent about how user data is processed, which can create risks when handling sensitive information.

Countering disinformation narratives after a year of war in Ukraine

The Countering Disinformation Narratives After a Year of War in Ukraine project aims to explore, uncover, and map a specific typology of disinformation and narratives circulated in Romania after one year of war in Ukraine in order to raise awareness, inform and advocate for countering disinformation. The project will research which communities are most exposed to this type of misinformation, monitor the media and public space to combat disinformation and assemble a framework that can be useful to colleagues who do fact-checking in other EU states. The project can be used to combat disinformation about the war in Ukraine and ensure that accurate information is shared.
