AI in Media Education: The Initiative "AI dětem (AI for children)"
The "AI for children" initiative focuses on integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into media education in primary and secondary schools. Its goal is to prepare students for the challenges of the digital world and develop their critical thinking skills. The project offers a variety of methodological materials to help educators incorporate AI-related topics into their lessons.
One key topic is the impact of generative AI on propaganda. The lesson explores how AI can automate the creation of propaganda content, requiring students to critically evaluate online information. (kurikulum.aidetem.cz)
Another crucial subject is microtargeting and dark posting. These techniques allow sponsored content to be precisely aimed at specific user groups on social media. The lesson highlights the ethical aspects and potential misuse of these tools in propaganda.
In the area of synthetic reality, students learn about advanced digital manipulation using AI, such as deepfakes. The lesson emphasizes the need for critical evaluation of online content and discusses ethical issues related to these technologies. (kurikulum.aidetem.cz)
