AI-CODE, Debunk, and the Evidentiary Future of Audiovisual Archives

Wednesday October 21, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm EEST

Events hall: Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania: Great Hall

Preserving the authenticity of digital records in an era of AI-generated content is a growing challenge for archives. This presentation offers one approach through AI-CODE, a Horizon Europe project developing AI-supported services for media asset annotation, content analysis, verification, and credibility assessment. The session will give audiovisual archivists a practical overview of the AI-CODE service ecosystem, with attention to how these tools may support discovery, contextualization, verification, and assessment of audiovisual materials.

The presentation will include an expert contribution from Debunk.org, a Vilnius-based independent technology think tank and NGO working on disinformation analysis, education, research, and Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (FIMI). Debunk will present AI-CODE’s Media Asset Annotation and Management service (MAAM) created by the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH). MAAM uses AI models for content annotation, retrieval, and media verification, including synthetic media and deepfake detection. For audiovisual archivists, MAAM offers a practical view into AI-assisted annotation, retrieval, and authenticity assessment. The presentation will consider how machine-generated labels, synthetic media detection, and explainable model outputs can contribute to verification-oriented approaches to audiovisual materials, especially where provenance, authenticity, and evidentiary context are at stake. Ample time will be reserved for discussion, with the aim of exploring how AI-CODE services might support real-world archival use cases.
