Spotting AI in Everyday Life

Emporium, PA – The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library invites the community to attend an AI Awareness Workshop: Spotting AI in Everyday Life on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 12:30 PM. This free program is open to adults ages 19 and up, and no registration is required.

Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—from social media posts to online ads and videos. But how can you tell what’s real and what’s not? This interactive workshop is designed to help everyday internet users better understand and identify AI-generated content.

Participants will learn how to recognize AI-generated writing, photos, and videos, as well as how to spot red flags in fraudulent advertisements and misleading online content. The session will also provide insight into how AI is currently being used and where the technology is headed. Through real-world examples, attendees will explore how AI can be used to deceive—and how to protect themselves online.

The workshop will be led by Emily Wolfel, a professional marketing and communications expert with more than 15 years of experience in writing, advertising, graphic design, video editing, and web development. Drawing on her extensive background, Wolfel will provide practical tools and guidance to help participants evaluate the content they encounter every day. If time permits, the session will include a live demonstration showing how AI-generated content is created.

This program is free and open to the public, and no registration is required.
