Digital disinformation in the age of AI … what can schools do?

The growth of deliberately misleading and false information is one of the big concerns of the 2020s. Professor Olof Sundin (Lund University) has been researching students’ (dis)information literacy since the early 2000s. He joins us to talk about the latest developments in this area – particularly the trend of now using AI to both produce *and* retrieve information.  Accompanying reference >>> Haider, J. & Sundin, O.
