­­­­­Fakten oder Fakes: Wie erkenne ich vertrauenswürdige Inhalte auf Nachrichtenseiten? – Zu Gast: Prof. Dr. Hendrik Heuer

Angefangen bei der eigenen Gesundheit bis hin zum Zusammenleben als Gesellschaft in einer Demokratie: Falsche Informationen stellen für viele Bereiche unseres Lebens eine Gefahr dar. Gerade im Internet – verteilt über soziale Medien – wird Desinformation auch in Krisenzeiten verstärkt produziert, geteilt und dringt so potenziell tief in unsere Gesellschaft ein.

Was Desinformation ist und was man gegen sie tun, besprechen wir mit Prof. Dr. Hendrik Heuer. Henrik ist Informatiker und leitet seit April 2024 das Forschungsprogramm am CAIS zum „Design vertrauenswürdiger Künstlicher Intelligenz“.
