Webinar “How AI and Misinformation are Critical Risks You Need to Address”

Published: November 2, 2024; Aithor: Julia Sonrisa

The rapid proliferation of AI-generated content — ranging from deepfakes and synthetic media to persuasive text — has led to a surge in misinformation, creating unprecedented forms of narrative risk. These evolving risks can mislead public opinion, erode trust, and destabilize institutions if not properly managed. Organizations, governments, and individuals alike must learn how to effectively identify, assess, and mitigate these threats before they escalate.

In this dynamic one-hour webinar, presented by uOttawa PDI and GRI, we will explore how the intersection of AI and misinformation is reshaping the way narratives are formed and disseminated. Discover how AI-driven misinformation influences decision-making, security, and reputational risks. The expert speaker will provide actionable insights on:

• The ways AI is being used to generate and manipulate narratives.
• How misinterpreted narratives can fuel misunderstanding and conflict.
• The rapid amplification of harmful narratives via social media and digital platforms.
• The dangers of selective or distorted information presentation and its potential to mislead stakeholders.
• How diverging narratives can create confusion and divisiveness among key groups.

This session is designed for professionals in risk management, communications, cybersecurity, public relations, and anyone concerned about the rising importance of narrative risk in today’s digital landscape. By the end of the webinar, you will be better equipped to identify and mitigate the emerging risks posed by AI-generated misinformation.
