First Check LIVE panel discussion

Health & Trust in the Age of AI

We live in a world where health information is everywhere, but knowing what to trust is becoming increasingly difficult. From social media feeds and online searches to AI-generated content, people are making important health decisions in an environment that is more complex than ever before.

The challenge is not scarcity of information. It is ensuring trust, clarity, and usability so people can access accurate, meaningful guidance when it matters most.

The Trust Audit:Health Information Pathways and the Future of Public Trust

India's health information ecosystem is at a turning point. As AI, social media, and misinformation reshape how people access and understand health information, trust in experts, institutions, and science is increasingly being tested.

The Trust Audit opens First Check LIVE with a timely conversation on the future of public trust, exploring how health information travels, where trust breaks down, and what it will take to build a healthier and better-informed society.

Join leading voices from medicine, journalism, public health, policy, and technology as we set the agenda for the year ahead.
