For young people growing up surrounded by synthetic media, it is hard to know what is real or manufactured. Not only does this threaten trust in the media and our perception of reality, but it also represents safety and ethical risks to society. This interactive workshop for teenagers aims to support informed, safe and ethical interactions with online and AI-generated media.
By the end of the workshop, participants should have: acquired a basic understanding of how deepfakes and synthetic (AI-generated) media work; gained awareness about the ethical issues that arise from it; be equipped to avoid falling victim to misinformation and disinformation using critical thinking; and considered ways to use these tools responsibly.
