Truth, Trust and Trickery in the AI Age

April 15 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
A computer monitor with a parody of a tech company logo floats on the waves while human hands reach up from the depths.
Can you seek out what’s true in today’s tsunami of AI slop? Generative AI is prompting an information crisis as fakes and fiction flood social media and chatbot hallucinations pollute our news streams. We’ll help you navigate this new frontier of video, image and language generation. In our interactive workshop you’ll learn from the BBC Blue Room about the latest tools and techniques and tackle dilemmas as a journalist in our pop-up newsroom.

Presented by BRAID, BBC R&D, and The University of Edinburgh as part of Edinburgh Science Festival.
