As misinformation, deepfakes, and half-truths spread, it\u2019s getting harder to tell what\u2019s real from what\u2019s fake. This causes people to lose trust in news and information, which weakens democracy by creating confusion and doubt about what to believe. Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a key role in this issue\u2014it can spread fake information and help fight against it. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to promote media literacy and teach people how to think critically, so they can deal with real and manipulated information<\/p>\n
-Prof. Cecilio Angulo Bah\u00f3n, Universitat Polit\u00e8cnica de Catalunya<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n
The event primarily targets High School pupils (15-18 years) and future students in the nine Unite! cities and regions. However, anyone interested is welcome to join.<\/p>\n
This event is an excellent opportunity for students to get curious, ask questions, and engage with science. This year, the focus is on AI. The impact and potential of AI is undeniable, but there are still a lot of questions we must answer. While we might not have all the answers, we can always ask ChatGPT! \ud83d\ude00
\nDespite the complexity of AI, we mustn\u2019t shy away from it, but embrace the challenge and the change, explore its potential, and tackle tough questions. After all, curiosity, learning, and critical thinking are how we move forward in science.<\/p>\n
