AI and the digital generation
Learn about risks with generative AI – deepfakes, misinformation, AI scams, and algorithms.
As generative AI becomes more accessible, so too do its risks - such as deepfakes, misinformation, AI scams, and harmful algorithmic influence.
This session will equip educators with critical insights into how young people are increasingly encountering AI-generated content outside of the classroom- particularly through social media, entertainment, and online tools.
Join Trent Ray from Cyber Safety Project as he unpacks AI’s growing influence and shares practical AI literacy strategies to empower young people to make informed, safe and ethical digital choices.
Educators can explore:
- the rise of AI-generated misinformation, scams, and deepfakes
- how AI companion apps and algorithms are shaping young people’s digital habits.
- practical AI literacy and media literacy lesson ideas to help students navigate Generative AI safely.
