Class Description

Disinformation refers to false information created to mislead people, and it’s nothing new. But today’s AI-powered tools and social media have made it easier and faster to create and spread disinformation. In this lecture, we’ll explore how AI is used to create convincing deepfakes and clone voices, making it challenging to distinguish between real and fake content. We’ll also review best practices for evaluating information and explore tech tools that can help identify content created with AI.

 

PLEASE NOTE: This event requires registration, and walk-ins will NOT be permitted. Once you register, your name will be added to a security list at the AARP NY office, and only registered participants will be permitted into the class.
