About the event
Social media platforms are rejecting fact-checking. The use of artificial intelligence to create eye-catching posts and visuals is exploding. Giant financial incentives can drive the information environment. How do you know what you can believe online?Â
Join us for a Poynter Community Conversation about information integrity on social media platforms, how artificial intelligence is shaping messages, what dangers lie ahead, and the tools you can use to find the truth.
Our panel of experts will provide a lively and informative discussion and answer audience questions.Â
