Webinar | How to spot fake Catholic content online

Creating high-quality content for Catholic parishes, schools, and dioceses is now easier than ever, thanks to big advances in generative AI.

But the increasing use of AI presents significant risks and challenges.

Just take the recent election of Pope Leo XIV.  In the days following the conclave, social media managers at parishes and dioceses were overwhelmed by fake quotes and entire sermons wrongly attributed to Pope Leo XIV.

A year ago, there were tell-tale signs that a photo or video was fake – like extra fingers on a hand, unnatural postures,  or odd lighting.  But today’s fake content isn’t so easy to spot. It’s becoming more difficult to determine what is real and what is not.

So, what is a Catholic communications professional to do?

Join this fast-paced, live session as Nic Prenger, Deacon John Rogers, Mitch Fisher, and the Catholic Social Media team help you sharpen your deepfake-spotting skills.

This session will equip you with practical tools to identify fake content AND help you put in place important safeguards to protect your diocese and your parishes.
