Free webinar exposes the hidden dangers of deepfakes and AI fakes

A free webinar on deepfakes and AI-generated media will be held next week. Organised by Saferinternet.at and the Chamber of Labor of Upper Austria, the event aims to educate participants about the technical basics of AI-generated media and how it spreads online. The discussion will also cover the risks, including scams and disinformation campaigns, and how to use an ai checker or ai detector to spot fakes.

Real-world examples of manipulated images, videos, and audio files will be presented, alongside practical advice on using ai checker tools and protecting personal data. No prior knowledge is required, and attendance is open to all.

The event follows broader concerns about AI's influence on public debates. While no specific cases of deepfakes affecting Austrian politics have been documented recently, experts warn of growing risks in this area.

The webinar provides a chance to understand AI manipulation and its dangers, and attendees will leave with tools to use an ai detector and identify fake content, staying safer online. Registration details are available through Saferinternet.at.
