How to fact-check in the AI age

The threat of misinformation is a growing concern among many Americans, and the emergence of artificial intelligence technology has complicated how we approach this issue. How do we distinguish fact from fiction? In this free webinar, the News Literacy Project’s Dan Evon and DeMario Phipps-Smith will discuss the fundamentals of fact-checking in the AI age. Join us to learn how to debunk false images and videos, both computer-generated and human-made.

Dan Evon writes for RumorGuard™, which uses examples of viral misinformation to help people learn to separate fact from fiction. He previously was a reporter for Snopes, the internet’s oldest fact-checking site.

DeMario Phipps-Smith leads news literacy training for adults around the country. DeMario joined NLP in September 2022 after more than six years as a digital media professional for various publications, including his hometown paper, the Chicago Sun-Times.
