AI and Authenticity

In a world where AI-generated content is increasingly common, knowing how to judge what is real and reliable is imperative. This session introduces clear, practical skills for evaluating the reliability of information and determining whether it was created using Generative AI tools. With guidance from library staff, you’ll explore common issues (e.g., inaccuracies, misinformation, biased results) and learn techniques for recognizing when something may not be trustworthy. Through guided examples, you’ll learn strategies for fact checking, refining your prompts, and using AI tools in ways that support informed, confident decision making in your day-to-day tasks and even help you shine at work. By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with simple, effective techniques to help you navigate digital information with greater clarity, awareness, and confidence.
