SUMMARY:Digital Risks to Democracy: Countering Misinformation Online with Paul M. Barrett
DESCRIPTION:Consider the digital risks confronting U.S. elections in 2024 from Paul M. Barrett\, deputy director and senior research scholar at the Center for Business and Human Rights at New York University’s Stern School of Business. While generative artificial intelligence can facilitate the spread of misinformation\, the main risk is social media\, as platforms fail to take steps to protect election integrity. \n  \nMore on Paul M. Barrett \n  \nThis program is the second in a series titled Bridging Political Divides: Exploring the Radical Middle \n  \nAs our world faces rising political extremism\, some citizens have focused on transcending left–right political divides. They advocate for evidence-based policies and solution-focused political discourse that seeks common ground. Through this lens of the “Radical Middle\,” we can understand the current challenges facing our community and world\, paving the way for more united and resilient societies. \n  \nWith thanks to our sponsoring partners at Kent District Library \n  \nRSVPs and Tickets \nThis program is free and open to the public. If you wish to view the livestream or its archive\, register below to receive a link. \n  \nParking \nFree parking is available at the library.
