Discover how artificial intelligence plays a role in misinformation and gain tips on how to spot and debunk false info in the digital age.
About the Event
What is misinformation? How can we spot it and avoid it? How has the emergence of artificial intelligence technology complicated how we evaluate information?
In this webinar, hosted by Senior Planet and the News Literacy Project, we’ll explore trends in misinformation and identify types of misleading and inaccurate information, whether AI- or human-generated. We’ll also discuss the fundamentals of fact-checking, including how to debunk false images and videos.
Dan Evon, the News Literacy Project’s senior manager of education design, will lead this one-hour session. Dan writes for the organization’s RumorGuard™ platform, which uses examples of viral misinformation to teach news literacy skills and identify and track misinformation tropes.
