The U.S. has long been plagued by misinformation. But with the widespread use of AI, the problem has been supercharged: Deepfakes. AI-manipulated photos. AI-generated videos. Our info ecosystem is now inundated with inaccurate or misleading AI-generated content — and there’s no end in sight.
Join journalist Philip Eil for a session about AI, the role it plays in creating and spreading misinformation, and how you can stay vigilant against its ill effects.
Among the questions we will answer:
What is AI?
What is misinformation?
How is AI being used to create and spread misinformation?
How is this AI misinformation affecting our society?
Are there laws being passed, on the local or national level, regulating AI?
What can people do to spot AI-generated content?
And, more broadly, how can we successfully navigate a world flooded with AI-generated misinformation?
