When Trust Is Not Enough: Source Selection in the Age of AI
Seminar | Hybrid
-
Organized by:
School of Government - Universidad Torcuato Di Tella
About the Event
In this hybrid seminar, participants will engage with new evidence on how children and young adults select learning sources in hypothetical scenarios, suggesting that learners may prioritize speed and availability over epistemic cues. The session will present findings on how learners select and evaluate sources through perceived knowledge, trustworthiness, expected learning, and expected enjoyment, followed by a brief discussion. Participants will reflect on what drives learners’ source choices and how these patterns can inform the interpretation of evidence.
