It is almost impossible to be online today without encountering content generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Whether you are looking for the latest news, scrolling through posts on social media, or looking up a new recipe for dinner, AI has made it more difficult to tell if what we see online can be trusted. This presentation will cover some of the clues we can look for to determine if something has been generated by AI and help you learn skills to verify the information you find online.
Is this AI? Spotting Misinformation Online is an interactive educational presentation focused on identifying computer-generated media and verifying digital sources. Located in the North Meeting Room at the North Regional Library in Durham, this one-hour session is best suited for parents, educators, and teenagers who spend time researching online. The event is entirely free to attend, and registration is not required. The library offers a large, complimentary parking lot directly in front of the building, and you may want to bring a notebook or tablet to jot down the verification tools discussed. This is an excellent Friday afternoon stop for parents looking to build digital literacy skills. It provides concrete tools to help your household navigate social media and school research projects with a critical eye.
No, this presentation is completely free and open to the public.
What age group is this program designed for?
