Lesson 1: Can You Trust What You See?
Overview
In an age where AI can create realistic images, videos, and voices, it’s increasingly difficult to separate truth from fabrication. This lesson helps students understand how AI-generated content works, recognize the signs of misinformation, and build the critical thinking skills necessary to navigate a world of blurred digital realities.
After this lesson, students will be able to...
- Explain how AI is used to generate synthetic media (like deepfakes).
- Identify visual and contextual clues that indicate manipulated or AI-generated content.
- Evaluate the ethical and social consequences of AI-powered misinformation.
- Contribute to a shared classroom toolkit for detecting digital deception.
