Discover how to address challenges of disinformation with our toolkit
The MediaFutures Toolkit is a resource for innovators and artists, and everyone working between business and arts. It focuses on interactions between art and AI, and how they can be used to counter misinformation. It enables the broader application of arts and trans-disciplinary STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) approaches to increase the understanding of, and participation in AI by a larger section of the public. The toolkit is driven by the expertise of the MediaFutures partners across a range of fields, and collates insights gained from our work with start-ups and artists in the MediaFutures support programme.
