@WikiConNA @selenamarie @Wikipedia @Wikimedia @Rosiestep @rajunarisetti @wikilaurentius @OhanaUnited @WikimediaNYC 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

[Samuel Breslow @sdkb42]

@WikiConNA @selenamarie @Wikipedia @Wikimedia @Rosiestep @rajunarisetti @wikilaurentius 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

[Samuel Breslow @sdkb42]

I'm in Toronto this weekend for @WikiConNA! I'll be tweeting out various highlights. #WikiConferenceNA

Kicking off, @selenamarie's keynote asks what we can do to make @Wikipedia persist over generations, and seeks to build ties between @Wikimedia and the volunteer community.
