Senior Planet from AARP - A.I. and Disinformation Lecture

Seeing might not mean believing anymore. Come learn how to identify deepfakes and cloned voices so you don't fall for digital deception. 

Disinformation refers to false information created to mislead people, and it's nothing new. But today's Al-powered tools and social media have made it easier and faster to create and spread disinformation. ln this lecture, we'll explore how Al 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 Al. 

This event is in collaboration with OATS from AARP. Each session aims to outline the general purpose of a device or concept, highlight its usefulness, and provide essential tips and tricks. These one-off lectures cover popular technology topics and themes in a clear and concise way. 

Purdue Extension and Porter County Public Library are offering this free lecture.
