AI applications make it easy to quickly create and share information in the form of text, images and video. But these new possibilities also harbor risks: How is AI changing the spread of disinformation? And how critical are young people of AI content? As part of Safer Internet Day, this training course aims to strengthen the media skills of children and young people in dealing with manipulated content in the classroom.
Focus
- The role of AI in media creation (text, image, video)
- AI-generated disinformation: by users and AI functions
- Potentials & risks of AI in media creation and young people's attitudes towards it
- Exercises to strengthen critical reflection on media and AI content
- Strengthening media literacy: teaching young people how to use it responsibly
