“LLMs and Misinformation: A Double-Edged Sword in the Digital Age“ will be hosted by Cherie Xu, Senior ML Engineer at Arthur. This event will be livestreamed on Zoom starting on Tuesday, September 17, 2024 at 1:00 PM ET.

Misinformation—both human-made and, more recently, AI-generated—poses a significant societal challenge in the digital age. It is a serious threat to information ecosystems that causes public fear and anxiety, erodes trust in institutions, and exacerbates discrimination between social groups.

In this session, Senior ML Engineer Cherie Xu will explore the role that large language models have played and can continue to play with regards to misinformation. While LLMs’ extensive knowledge and strong reasoning abilities make them promising for combating misinformation, they can also be easily leveraged to generate deceptive misinformation at scale.

Attendees will leave with an understanding of:
- The harms of misinformation
- How misinformation was prevented before the advent of large language models and multimodal models
- The complex relationship between LLMs and misinformation, including the ways in which LLMs can be utilized to both combat and create it
- Potential failure modes for detection techniques such as the false negative problem
- Strategies and recommendations for resolving this issue moving forward
