SUMMARY:AI Literacy at Lunchtime: AI and Democracy Workshop- Online Only - Erin Burns\, Josh Salmans
DESCRIPTION:Participants will: Understand how AI affects democracies around 
 the world. Critically evaluate any AI content related to the current 
 election season. Work to understand the ”bad actors” on social media 
 platforms that produce misinformation\, disinformation\, “fake news\,” 
 cheap fakes and deep fakes\n\nJoin us for the AI Literacy Club! We’ve all 
 seen deep fakes\, misinformation\, disinformation and “fake news” go 
 viral on social media. With the current election season\, it’s more 
 important than ever that engaged citizens are able to evaluate and 
 understand the things that go viral. Please see the second in our series 
 for more about evaluation. This workshop will discuss the various ways in 
 which AI is being weaponized in disinformation and misinformation campaigns 
 to sway voters. However\, we will also discuss ways that AI is being used 
 in other democratic processes. This will include case uses from a variety 
 of public sectors\, looking with a critical eye towards using “big 
 data” to make choices for the populace under the auspices of 
 “neutrality.” We will also discuss what "responsible tech" might look 
 like in a democracy. This will be a discussion-based workshop. We will have 
 some slides and/or demo a few tools or guides\, but we also want to hear 
 from you\, the participants\, about these topics. Come with your lunch\, 
 your questions\, and your experiences.\n\nRegistration for workshops closes 
 two days before the event. You are welcome to email the presenters to get 
 added to their list for the link.\n\nerin.burns@ttu.edu\,
