	\|<small>AI tools are increasingly being used to generate and reshape news content, creating new and urgent challenges for fact checking and bias mitigation, especially during election periods. This Circle will explore how journalists, fact checkers, and technologists can collaboratively design practical tools to detect cultural and contextual bias in AI generated stories, with a focus on supporting election coverage in low resource and multilingual environments. Participants will share experiences from their contexts and give direct input to help shape an early prototype of Bias Lens, an open source fact checking tool being developed through Baraza Media Lab as part of a Mozilla Fellowship.</small>		\|<small>AI tools are increasingly being used to generate and reshape news content, creating new and urgent challenges for fact checking and bias mitigation, especially during election periods.

			\|'''Traffic Analysis for WordPress Websites: fFnding the Right Balance Between Bots and Humans'''
			\|<small>Bots account for over 50% of all web requests to independent media and CSO websites. Some of that traffic is welcome - Internet Archive crawlers preserve reporting, and search engine bots help promote the platform’s content. Other crawlers copy an entire website into a training set overnight or probe the platform for weaknesses. User-Agent lists are no longer enough, since these names can be spoofed, IP addresses can be changed, and automated behavior can be made to resemble human behavior. Block too hard, and you lose readers on VPNs, Tor, and shared mobile connections. We will compare different bot detection techniques, including the one we use in our Deflect ecosystem, and explore ways to implement such a detection mechanism on any WordPress website The workshop will also explore cutting-edge features of bot detection, including the x402 agent payment protocol (charging AI per request at the HTTP layer), which would turn crawler traffic into revenue for the people who did the work, and the clearinghouse model for sharing bot data within the sector.</small>
