EVENT CO-SPONSORED BY: BMH-BJ

ABOUT THE EVENT:

This is the final session in a four-part series. Participants may register for one, multiple, or all four sessions - attendance at every session is not required. Each session relates to the main theme but will stand on its own, allowing participants to join at any point in the series. All sessions will also be recorded and made available for those who would like to catch up on any content they miss or revisit the material at a later time.

Truth, Media, and Propaganda - A timely look at misinformation, lashon hara, and the ethics of communication—especially in an age of social media and AI.

Session 4: “AI, Deepfakes, and the Future of Human Trust” — Can We Still Know What’s Real?

A culminating discussion about artificial intelligence, synthetic media, and epistemic crisis. If images, voices, and texts can all be fabricated convincingly, what happens to testimony, evidence, and trust?
