SUMMARY:HUSI Study Break with special guest, Dr. Halyna Padalko
DESCRIPTION:<h3>Join fellow HUSI students for casual food and conversation @ HURI!</h3><p><span>This week's Study Break will feature special guest </span><a href="https://cis.mit.edu/our-people/halyna-padalko"><span>Dr. Halyna Padalko</span></a><span>, disinformation researcher, Fulbright Scholar at MIT, Center for International Studies. Dr. Padalko will examine how </span>AI has become a profound game-changer in the business of information manipulation. Beyond serving as an amplifier and playing a supportive role in conducting <span>infoops</span>, AI itself has become a battlefield, with phenomena such as LLM grooming and data poisoning emerging. On the other hand, AI can be leveraged for the purpose of defending democracies from the malicious impact of autocratic countries, and Ukraine offers a great example of how to leverage AI for democratic purposes.</p><h4><em><span>This is a private event for Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute (HUSI) students, faculty, and staff.</span></em></h4><hr><h6>Questions?
