- DER STANDARD editors Anna Wiesinger, Klaus Taschwer and Philip Pramer will discuss media literacy on September 8.

What must media literacy achieve in an age of TikTok, ChatGPT and increasingly convincing false information? DER STANDARD editors Anna Wiesinger, Klaus Taschwer and Philip Pramer will address that question on September 8 in the livestream format “DER STANDARD im Gespräch.”
The discussion will focus on why media literacy has become more important to a democratic public sphere. False news is not new, but social media and artificial intelligence have changed how quickly misinformation can spread and how difficult it can be to recognize reliable information.
AI-generated fabrications can appear increasingly credible, while algorithms influence which information reaches people in the first place. The event will examine how audiences can navigate that environment and assess information more carefully.
