Think Twice: Spotting AI Misinformation and Online Scams

Join the Global Shapers Edinburgh Hub for a practical community workshop on how to recognise and respond to AI-generated misinformation, deepfakes, and online scams.

As AI tools become more common, misleading images, videos, voice recordings, and messages are becoming harder to spot. This session is designed to be simple, practical, and accessible — no technical knowledge is needed.

We will cover:

• How AI-generated misinformation and deepfakes work
• Common signs of online scams and misleading content
• What to check before sharing information
• Practical steps to stay safer online
• A short interactive discussion with real-life examples

This workshop is especially useful for older adults, families, and anyone who wants to feel more confident navigating online information.

The session is free to attend and open to all.

The workshop will take place in the Exhibition Hall at Edinburgh Central Mosque.
