About this Event
The City Library and AbilityNet, are delighted to offer this engaging session exploring how AI influences the content we read, share, and trust online. From deepfakes to algorithm‑generated news, AI can be used to inform, but also to mislead — and knowing the difference is more important than ever.
This accessible, beginner‑friendly session will help you understand:
- What AI is and how it creates or spreads information
- The difference between misinformation and disinformation
- How AI tools such as deepfakes and text generators are used to distort reality
- Simple techniques to check sources, spot red flags, and stay safe when navigating online content
Whether you're a regular internet user or just curious about AI’s impact on our digital world, this session will give you the knowledge and confidence to think critically and recognise what’s real — and what isn’t.
