The Viral Truth: Fighting Health Disinformation in a Connected World
In an era where social media influencers, AI tools, and profit-driven media shape public understanding of the world, health disinformation poses a growing threat to individual and community well-being. This session will examine the evolving landscape of health misinformation, from viral myths and misleading wellness trends to the growing use of AI as a stand-in for professional medical care. Through real-world examples and discussion, participants will learn practical strategies to spot and counter false claims, build trust in reliable sources, and support informed decision-making in their community.
