Over 50 community members attended our January presentation, “Seeking Truth in the Age of Artificial Intelligence & Mis/Disinformation” co-hosted with the Granville Public Library. Lori Robbins, Head of AI Strategy at Denison University, helped participants understand navigating the mix of truth and invention in the age of AI and to understand the technology’s limits. If you’re interested in mis/disinformation, please plan to attend our upcoming hands on workshop to learn how to spot misleading AI-generated content and how to respond to it.
