About this talk

It is harder than ever to discern what is real and what is fake when you’re hit with so much information on a daily basis. It’s not just nation states, governments, or extremists who make use of social media and AI to manipulate information: it’s regular people who have learned how to control the flow of information. Find out how you can use data to analyze what you’re seeing and dissect disinformation. Perry Carpenter, KnowBe4’s Chief Evangelist and Strategy Officer and Rosa Smothers, former CIA Cyber Threat Analyst recently sat down with disinformation and propaganda researcher Samuel Woolley to explore the themes in Samuel’s book The Reality Game: How The Next Wave of Technology Will Break the Truth. They discuss: - Why and how propaganda is created and used to manipulate you - The real people behind disinformation campaigns and their motivations - The role of culture and how it can change the way people are influenced - How technology plays a role in aiding manipulation - How you can use evidence, facts and data to expose the truth and protect yourself and your organization from falsehood
