“Invisible Rulers” with Renée DiResta

“Invisible Rulers” with Renée DiResta
Skeptical Inquirer Presents | Thursday, August 21
From AI-generated images to health disinformation, propagandists shape public opinion by distorting the truth. The impact of influencers and algorithms grows exponentially, making it more challenging to achieve a democratic consensus on many significant issues.
Join us on Thursday, August 21, at 7:00 p.m. ET for a Skeptical Inquirer Presents livestream with Renée DiResta. Her book, Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality, describes "a profound transformation in power and influence that is altering our politics, our local government, and even our relationships with friends and neighbors." DiResta exposes the ways that society’s institutions are being undermined and offers new ideas to help in the fight for the promotion of reality-based information.
