Learning Objectives
Key Concepts
An internet hoax is a fabricated story or false information spread online with the intention of misleading or deceiving people. It often takes the form of a sensational news story or social media post that appears to be legitimate but is actually entirely or partially false.
Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs, while disregarding or minimising information that contradicts them.
Deepfake content are videos, audio recordings, or images created using artificial intelligence (AI) to make it appear as though someone is saying or doing something that they didn't do.
