AI Ready Adults (Online)

Spotting Misinformation and Protecting Your Privacy

Learn to spot AI-generated and manipulated content while discovering practical strategies for protecting your personal information when using AI tools. This event is brought to you by Charles County Public Library.

AI can make it easier to create convincing images, videos, and other content—but it can also make misinformation harder to recognize. In this virtual session, participants will practice identifying red flags in AI-generated images, deepfakes, and manipulated media. We'll also discuss privacy risks associated with AI tools and explore practical strategies for protecting personal information. Participants will develop critical thinking skills they can use when evaluating what they encounter online.

What is the AI Ready Adults program series?

Build confidence with AI through practical, hands-on sessions covering everyday uses, productivity, privacy, misinformation, career tools, and responsible AI habits. Artificial intelligence is becoming part of everyday life—but knowing how to use it safely and effectively can feel overwhelming. This six-part series helps adults build practical AI literacy and confidence without requiring technical experience. Participants will learn what AI is and where they encounter it, practice getting useful results from AI tools, learn how to spot AI-generated misinformation and protect their privacy, explore everyday uses for AI, discover ways AI can support job searches and career growth, and develop personal guidelines for responsible AI use. Sessions are designed to stand alone, so participants can attend individual programs or take part in the full series. The series includes a mix of in-person and virtual sessions. There are also AI Ready program series for Kids & Families (6-11) and Teens (12-18).
