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. [AI did not generate this abstract.]
