What is real anymore? Using Artificial Intelligence tools to spot what’s true and useful online

Description du cours

Students regularly come across reels and posts that seem true at first glance—but aren’t. This mini-course will help them spot what’s real and apply these skills to create credible schoolwork. Using examples of misinformation, they will learn how researchers figure out what’s true and how to use AI tools to support their research. In this course, students will (i) compare different viewpoints on a social or health issue, (ii) read concise research articles, and (iii) use AI tools to evaluate biases and develop stronger assignments. By the end, they will have a head start on their university-level projects.
