Fact or Fake? Authenticity in the Digital Era

In the digital era, we are exposed to huge amounts of information. As more of what we see is AI generated, and less of what we read is from trustworthy sources, we need to ask more questions. Is this real? Why do we believe fake news? How can we protect ourselves from misinformation?
