AI and Disinformation
Friday February 27 2026 11:00 AM
Merrillville
Event 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.
This Senior Planet from AARP class is being offered through the Senior Planet licensing program. It is intended for adults ages 60+. It is presented by the IU Northwest Center for Urban and Regional Excellence (CURE).
Register by February 25 online at go.iu.edu/3AVG or by calling CURE at 219-980-6907.
