Deepfakes, Bias, and Bots: Teaching Students to Think Critically About AI

AI is no longer science fiction, it's shaping the world our students live in every day. From TikTok filters and AI chatbots to deepfake videos and biased algorithms, students need the skills to ask: Can I trust this? Who created it? What's missing? In this session, we'll explore engaging classroom strategies for helping learners think critically about AI technologies, uncover bias, and practice responsible digital citizenship. Participants will walk away with ready-to-use lesson ideas, discussion prompts, and tools to empower students to be thoughtful consumers and creators in an AI-driven world.
