Why it matters for ENACT-AI
The manual does not specifically teach artificial intelligence, but it develops essential AI-literacy foundations such as critical evaluation of online information, source credibility, identifying fake news, recognizing manipulation, protecting personal data and making responsible decisions in digital environments. These competencies are directly transferable to evaluating AI-generated content, deepfakes, AI-assisted scams and synthetic misinformation.
Learning outcomes
Learners develop critical thinking and research skills, evaluate the credibility and reliability of online information and sources, recognize and prevent cyberbullying and hate speech, identify phishing and identity theft attempts, understand digital identity and digital footprints, protect personal data and privacy, respond appropriately to harmful online behaviour, and develop responsible digital citizenship.
Suggested activity
Use the “Fake News” activity to have learners examine examples of potentially false information, identify indicators of unreliability and explain how they would verify the information. Follow with a discussion about how AI-generated text, images and videos can make fake information more convincing.
