About this event

Powerful generative AI tools are becoming more accessible, and AI slop is flooding our digital spaces. As this low-quality, high-volume content saturates our digital spaces, it raises questions about the real impact this deluge is having on creativity, information integrity, media ecosystems, and public trust. Is AI slop merely noise, or is it reshaping how we consume, create, and understand information?

Join experts in a timely conversation examining AI slop’s rapid rise, and how we should respond to this growing challenge.
