A comprehensive Austrian resource hub providing educational materials, practical activities, guides, workshops, and information on safe, responsible, and critical use of digital media. The resources cover topics such as information literacy, artificial intelligence, misinformation, deepfakes, cyberbullying, privacy, social media, online safety, and digital participation.
For example:
- Checking AI-generated information: Students verify texts produced by ChatGPT and other AI tools, identify errors, and learn to check information before accepting it as accurate.
- AI and school life: Students discuss how ChatGPT and similar tools are changing school and learning, considering both benefits and drawbacks and imagining future classroom practices.
- Exploring perspectives with AI: Students use chatbots to explore different perspectives on a topic through role-play, while learning to critically assess AI-generated viewpoints.
- Why AI produces misinformation: Students identify mistakes in AI-generated texts and investigate causes such as training data and model limitations, developing an understanding of responsible AI use.
- Snapchat MyAI and personal data: Students explore what a chatbot may “know” about them, how data profiles are created, and how they can limit or control the sharing of their data.
- Creating and checking AI-generated quizzes: Students use AI to create quizzes and then verify the questions and answers against reliable sources, developing both AI skills and critical thinking.
- Search engines for children: Students compare child-oriented search engines in terms of usability, safety, and information quality, while considering how search platforms influence what they see online.
- AI-generated sexual images (“deep nudes”): Students learn how to respond to blackmail involving AI-generated sexual images, developing self-protection strategies and ways to support peers.
- Sexting and nude images – legal aspects: Students learn about the legal framework and possible consequences surrounding sexting and the sharing of nude images, promoting responsible behaviour.
- Detecting manipulated images: Students learn to identify edited or manipulated images and to question the authenticity of visual content found online.
- Critical image analysis: Through quizzes, students learn to examine context, framing, and meaning, and to recognise visual misinformation and misleading images.
- Research beyond Google: Students explore alternative research and search tools, including resources for preliminary scientific research, broadening their information sources and reducing dependence on a single platform.
Why it matters for ENACT-AI
Saferinternet.at provides practical activities that help learners critically evaluate AI-generated content, fact-check information, understand the limitations of AI tools, and reflect on how AI can influence education and everyday life. The platform also connects AI literacy with broader media literacy, online safety, privacy, misinformation, and responsible digital participation.
Learning outcomes
Learners can critically evaluate AI-generated information, identify inaccuracies and potential biases in AI-generated content, apply fact-checking and source verification strategies, understand opportunities and risks associated with AI tools, improve their digital and media literacy, recognise misinformation and deepfakes, reflect on privacy and online safety, and make more informed and responsible decisions in digital environments.
Suggested activity
Choose an AI-related activity from the Saferinternet.at collection, such as checking AI-generated texts. Ask learners to analyse a text generated by an AI tool, identify claims that may be inaccurate or misleading, verify these claims using reliable independent sources, and discuss why AI systems can produce incorrect information. As a final step, learners create a short checklist for responsible use of AI in research and learning. Saferinternet.at also provides activities where learners create quizzes with AI tools and then verify the generated content against trustworthy sources.
