Lesson 3: Social Media and AI – The Good, the Bad, and the Biased
Overview
AI powers much of what we see on social media – from recommended posts to personalized ads. Understanding how AI influences us helps us make informed choices, recognize potential harms (such as bias or echo chambers), and use social media in a way that aligns with our values and supports our overall well-being.
After this lesson, students will be able to...
- Analyze how AI shapes their social media experiences.
- Evaluate the positive and negative impacts of AI-driven social media.
- Develop responsible habits for engaging with AI-powered platforms.
