Learn how to tell the difference between accurate and misleading AI generated content.

AI and information literacy is paramount in today's digital landscape as artificial intelligence continues to shape various aspects of our lives, from the way we consume information to the decisions we make. Understanding AI not only enables individuals to navigate the vast sea of AI-generated content but also empowers them to discern between credible and misleading information. With AI literacy, individuals can effectively evaluate the biases inherent in AI algorithms, comprehend the nuances of data sources, and critically assess the reliability and validity of AI outputs. Moreover, AI literacy fosters a sense of empowerment, enabling individuals to harness the potential of AI technology for positive societal impact while mitigating the risks associated with its misuse. In an increasingly AI-driven world, AI literacy is not just a skill but a necessity for informed decision-making, ethical considerations, and meaningful engagement with emerging technologies.​​
