Fascinating talk from @SuePGardner on #disinformation. Researchers actually know a lot about who is susceptible to it, she says, although they are sometimes squeamish about sharing for fear of appearing biased. #WikiConferenceNA – at Toronto, Ontario

Maryana Pinchuk says it's very hard to tell when something was written by AI, and it'll only get harder as technology improves. Hidden AI in Wikipedia poses a #misinformation risk, and editors will have to cultivate an intuition to catch it. #WikiConferenceNA – at Toronto, Ontario
