# World IA Day 2018

## Global theme: IA for good

Each year locations around the world curate content based on a global theme. This year our theme is "IA for Good".

We would like you to think in the direction of how might we use IA to protect human civilization from misinformation. One way to approach the topic is to consider that nowadays we struggle to make sense of the abundance of information and sources. We don’t know who to trust, so we believe what we want and can be easily manipulated. Some digital places are enabling ignorance, hate, alienation, and polarization to grow.
