Digital Media Literacy Skills in the Age of AI

It can be challenging to sort fact from fiction online, and an increase in hate speech, alongside ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools, have made it even harder.

This virtual workshop, led by experts from CIVIX is designed to help parents and caregivers learn simple skills for spotting misinformation in the context of social media platforms and AI.

Please note: registration will be limited to 300 spots
