• November 2019
In today’s digital world, information travels as fast and as far as data can go. There have never been so many tools to create and share all this information from the palm of your hand. Data and artificial intelligence are used to spread news in a way that you no longer know if these are real or fake. This is a real threat to our democratic society. People need to be media-literated: understand how, by who and where this information is created.
In this triggering, humorous, heartfelt and foremost fact-checked TED talk, Eppo van Nispen tot Sevenaer will take you on an inspirational roller-coaster in his stimulating stride for bringing media literacy to the university’s curriculum using the oldest powerhouses of information in the world. He will give a special insight on how to deal with the world of deep fakes using old school tools, from pure poetry to his 102-year old grandmother.
