Why it matters for ENACT-AI

The Toolbox directly addresses generative AI, AI-generated and manipulated content, deepfakes and the relationship between AI and disinformation. It combines AI literacy with source evaluation, fact-checking, critical thinking and media literacy, while also connecting these issues to democracy, digital participation and online safety. Its broad collection allows educators to address both the technical aspects of AI-generated content and its wider societal consequences.

Learning outcomes

Develop critical media literacy, evaluate information and misinformation, understand generative AI and deepfakes, reflect on algorithms and digital platforms, protect personal data, participate responsibly online, and strengthen democratic and critical-thinking skills.
