The event will be streamed right here. For subscribers who are not able to join, a replay of the livestream will be available after the event.

Detecting when text has been generated by tools like ChatGPT is a difficult task. Popular artificial- intelligence-detection tools, like GPTZero, may provide some guidance for users by telling them when something was written by a bot and not a human, but even specialized software is not foolproof and can spit out false positives. As a journalist who started covering AI detection over a year ago, I wanted to curate some of WIRED's best articles on the topic to help readers like you better understand this complicated issue.
