Is That AI?

REGISTER - This event is at capacity; register to join the waitlist

With the advances in artificial intelligence technology, AI programs can now create ultrarealistic images and videos. At first sight, it may be hard to tell if what you see was created or altered by AI. In this session, we’ll teach you tips and tools to help you determine if an image was generated by AI. We'll show you how to do a reverse image search to find out the internet history of any image you find online. While we can't definitively tell whether an image is AI, these tools will make you a savvier internet user. A light lunch will be provided. Registration required.
