Digital Discovery Friday Series: AI & Disinformation
January 9, 2026 @ 11:00 am – 12:00 pm
This collaborative effort between RGEA and Senior Planet from AARP will emphasize the digital aspect of the learning experience covering a variety of topics. This next virtual program in the series is AI & Disinformation.
Disinformation refers to false information created to mislead people, and it’s nothing new. But today’s AI-powered tools and social media have made it easier and faster to create and spread disinformation. In this lecture, we’ll explore how AI is used to create convincing deepfakes and clone voices, making it challenging to distinguish between real and fake content. We’ll also review best practices for evaluating information and explore tech tools that can help identify content created with AI.
Registration and attendance for these virtual events are free! If you do not have an AARP account, you will be prompted to create one. AARP membership is NOT required.
