Education with Deepfakes, Hallucinations, and Smartglasses

Bring your lunch and your curiosity to this provocative, hands-on session designed for educators, researchers, students, and policymakers. Education with Deepfakes, Hallucinations, and Smartglasses invites you to engage with real-world scenarios drawn from global conversations about the future of trust, privacy, and truth in education.

Handle smartglasses. Watch a deepfake. Debate a hallucinated report. Together, we’ll explore:

• A fake video of a student using slurs goes viral—how should schools respond?
• AI-generated feedback misrepresents a teacher’s intent—who’s accountable?
• A parent secretly live-streams a student interview—what does consent look like now?

This interactive, scenario-based event won't tell you what to think, it will ask you what you’d do. Rather than predicting the future, we’ll interrogate it: surfacing tensions around identity, evidence, and power in an age of synthetic media and surveillance.

We’d love to see you there.

This event is hybrid. For those wanting to join online, a link will be sent closer to the date after registration. For those joining us on campus please go here: Level 14, Room T1416, 370 Little Lonsdale St

Please note, only those that join us physically are in the running to win a pair of Smart Glasses.
