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.
