Training at the Medienzentrum: Fake news and artificial intelligence

The Medienzentrum of the city of Salzgitter is offering an online training course on "Fake News and Artificial Intelligence" on August 21, 2024.

The event will take place from 2 to 6 p.m. and is aimed at teachers who want to explore the challenges and opportunities of the digital media world.

At a time when social networks such as Facebook, X (Twitter), TikTok and Instagram play a significant role in shaping public opinion, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the mechanisms behind the dissemination of information. The US elections are a current example of how strongly digital media can influence public opinion. In addition to human actors, so-called social bots - automated programs that pretend to be human - are also helping to shape opinion. Artificial intelligence and deep fakes have the ability to further manipulate our perception.

Speaker Jessica Schattschneider will give a comprehensive overview of these topics and provide teachers with valuable teaching materials. She will demonstrate how to respond effectively to these challenges in the classroom.
