On October 19, 2026, the topic 'Misinformation V Disinformation' will be presented at Newcastle City Library. The family event will show how artificial intelligence shapes online information and teach practical detection methods, with no cost to attend.
Discover how artificial intelligence is shaping the information we see online. Learn practical ways to spot misinformation & disinformation.
City Library and AbilityNet, we are delighted to offer this engaging session exploring how AI influences the content we read, share, and trust online. From deepfakes to algorithm‑generated news, AI can be used to inform, but also to mislead — and knowing the difference is more important than ever.
This accessible, beginner‑friendly session will help you understand:
What AI is and how it creates or spreads information
The difference between misinformation and disinformation
How AI tools such as deepfakes and text generators are used to distort reality
Simple techniques to check sources, spot red flags, and stay safe when navigating online content
Whether you're a regular internet user or just curious about AI’s impact on our digital world, this session will give you the knowledge and confidence to think critically and recognise what’s real — and what isn’t.
