Disinformation is spreading fast as the election approaches. On October 22 at 8 PM ET, join experts Dr. Heather Woods and Dr. Leslie Hahner for a 60-minute Zoom session where you'll learn how to spot and combat AI-generated disinformation, election-related falsehoods, and understand how the algorithms are amplifying some of this content -- and how you can avoid feeding into it.
