DETECT.ai is an engaging, hands-on workshop designed to help students explore the ethical challenges of AI, particularly in the context of fake news and misinformation. Through interactive team-based scenario, students will examine how AI technologies can be used to create and spread false information, and the societal impact of this capability. In a collaborative environment, students will work in teams to simulate the creation and dissemination of fake news using AI tools, while learning to critically assess the authenticity of information.*

In the SCI-FI/DISTRACTION Tour, Learning Experience Facilitators will introduce students to the key concepts and ideas, facilitate group discussions and activities, and prompt students to think critically about the works. Students will have the opportunity to independently explore the exhibition with a scavenger hunt quiz containing thought-provoking questions and reflective activities before sharing their experience with the group.
