Misinformation poses a significant threat to the Latino community, exploiting cultural nuances and historical contexts with false narratives. Such misinformation can deeply impact this community, suppressing civic engagement, undermining the integrity of electoral processes, and distorting purchasing decisions, which can lead to health and financial harm. This session will highlight the crucial role of media literacy in equipping Spanish-speaking individuals with the skills to navigate and challenge falsehoods. Panelists will discuss collaborative strategies involving artificial intelligence industry leaders, tech companies, government agencies, media organizations, and grassroots efforts to improve media literacy and ensure that Latino rights, votes, finances, and health are well-protected.
