May 12, 2026: Detecting and Dealing with AI Content, with Aric Pedersen
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. — so that we may start on time, please arrive at least 5 minutes before the meeting begins.

AI created content is everywhere. It’s all over social media, in news sites (yes, even some of the big names), on music streaming services, at your place of work, the ads you see, the software you use, etc. It’s impossible to avoid. When used properly, AI can be a useful tool.
But it often gets used indiscriminately, or even worse, in ways designed to manipulate or scam you. AI is clogging search results, meaning you are less likely than ever to be taken to a truly useful site when you click one of the top links.
We cannot stop this flood of AI content yet (though there are people working on ways to do that for the future), but there are ways to detect AI usage so that you are less likely to be scammed or misled.
This month PMUG President Aric Pedersen we’ll be discussing how to identify and deal with AI-created content, no matter if it’s text, pictures, or video. You’ll also learn a bit about how to use AI responsibly and carefully. We hope you’ll join us for this very important presentation.
