Generative Misinformation with Professor Jevin West

Join the Office of Public Lectures for an evening with Jevin West, Associate Professor in UW Information School, Co-founder of the DataLab.
Addressing misinformation is one of society’s grand challenges. In so doing, we might have a chance at the other grand challenges-preventing the next pandemic, preserving our planet, and protecting democracy. Humans, armed and amplified with social media, have been the primary producers of misinformation. This may be changing. Human-like chatbots and other forms of generative AI are and will contribute to this problem. It was a hard enough with humans; AI might make pre-2023 look like the good old days of mitigating misinformation. In this talk, I will address some of these new challenges and potential next steps.
