Event Summary

Disruptive Technology EXperiment (DTEX) is a new style of simulated game designed to quickly test ideas and technologies toward addressing various types of problems, originally developed by NATO Innovation Hub at its facility on the campus of Old Dominion University, Norfolk, Virginia, USA. Most recently, DTEX tested innovative ideas for identifying and countering the rising number of COVID19-related disinformation campaigns, complemented with a synthetic environment in a distributed online format to help participants understand this complex and dynamic (and possibly wicked) spread of information within social networks.

This multidisciplinary panel will bring together developers and participants of DTEX to discuss its origins, development, and mechanics of its implementation. Highlights of its most recent application on COVID19-related disinformation will be discussed, as well as other future applications including in the areas of Cyber Risks.
