DESCRIPTION: \n\nThe 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.\nJoin 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.\n \nAmong the questions we will answer:\n\nWhat is AI?\nWhat is misinformation?\nHow is AI being used to create and spread misinformation?\nHow is this AI misinformation affecting our society?\nAre there laws being passed\, on the local or national level\, regulating AI?\nWhat can people do to spot AI-generated content?\n\nAnd\, more broadly\, how can we successfully navigate a world flooded with AI-generated misinformation?\n \nAbout the presenter\nPhil Eil is a freelance journalist based in his hometown\, Providence\, Rhode Island. His debut book\, Prescription for Pain: How A Once Promising Doctor Became the Pill Mill Killer\, was released in April 2024\, from Steerforth Press.
