Harnessing A.I. to Combat Misinformation: Essential tools & strategies for educators

October 17, 2024 | 4:00 - 4:45 p.m. ET

Nearly 40-50% of middle school students struggle to distinguish deepfake videos from reality. And with the upcoming U.S. Presidential Election, the surge of generative A.I., and ever-evolving social media trends, it’s never been more important to equip students with the tools and skills to navigate misinformation and deepfakes online. 

Despite 48% of students using tools like ChatGPT daily, 87% of educators report they haven’t received training on A.I. as part of their professional development. While some educators see the potential of A.I. for learning, others worry it may encourage shortcuts or spread false information. With nearly half of students unsure where to find reliable information, the question remains: How can educators empower students to navigate A.I. for learning and growth while fighting misinformation?

Join us for an interactive webinar featuring Sophie Theodorou, founder of Teach2AI, a platform that teaches educators about the importance of A.I. and how to navigate it effectively in the classroom. Sophie’s work with Teach2AI, Designing Schools, and the Human Intelligence movement focuses on empowering students and training educators to integrate A.I. into the classroom effectively.
