That online news item, that photo, that video… What is real and what is fake? Can you always distinguish it? During the Night of History you will learn everything about fake news and AI at Radboud Castle in Medemblik. A fun evening out, from which you will also learn something!
New technologies follow each other at lightning speed and media are everywhere and always present. That asks quite a bit of us. What is the effect of fake news? Where does this suddenly come from? And is fake news part of the internet or does it have a longer history?
Together with the West Fries Archives and The Dutch Historian, the West Friesian Libraries are organizing an evening around the theme Really fake as part of History Month.
