Do you know your fake news from your verified sources? Your misinformation from your disinformation? Young people today are being bombarded with false information and AI-generated content, making it more and more difficult to know what or who to believe. Join us for a fun interactive session, for students aged 9 years plus, that is packed with tips on how to spot fake headlines and AI-generated images that will encourage young people to be more critical and curious about the news they consume. Plus, play along as we host a live version of the popular monthly quiz AI or Real.
