Is there a type of AI use that you find uncomfortable or strange? Demonstrate examples or ask learners to test out tools in a group Check the list of examples you can try to demonstrate, or give these as a task for each group.

Resources and tips for deeper engagements video language 🇬🇧 Benefits Saves time (e.g., writing help, navigation, voice-to-text) Improves accessibility (e.g., screen readers, translation) Helps in education, healthcare, and work Risks and Concerns Loss of privacy AI apps may collect personal information without you noticing. Example: A face filter app saves your photo and uses it later for advertising. How to prevent or check: Check the app’s permissions and only allow access that is necessary. Avoid uploading personal photos if you are unsure. Misuse of personal data Your data can be shared or sold to other companies. Example: An online shopping app saves what you search for and buy, and then uses this information to show you targeted ads or shares it with other companies. How to prevent or check: Review the app’s privacy settings, limit ad personalisation, and avoid signing in with social media accounts if it is not necessary. Data stored for a long time Once data is collected, it may stay online for years. Example: Old voice recordings from a smart assistant are kept on company servers. How to prevent or check: Review your account settings and delete old recordings or data when possible. Unfair treatment (AI bias) AI can make unfair decisions if it learns from biased data. Example from news: News reports have shown that some companies used AI tools to help with hiring, but these tools showed bias. The AI systems learned from past hiring data and started favouring certain genders, names, or backgrounds, while unfairly rejecting others. Fake images and videos AI can create images or videos that look real but are not. Example: A fake photo showing a public figure doing something they never did. How to prevent or check: Check trusted news sources and look for the same information on more than one website. Fake voices AI can copy someone’s voice to trick others. Example: A scam call sounds like a family member asking for money. How to prevent or check: Hang up and call the person directly using a number you already know. Spreading false information Fake AI content can confuse or mislead people. Example: A fake video shared on social media causes panic or anger. How to prevent or check: Do not share the content immediately and verify it with reliable sources first. 👋🏽 Join the Community Ideas on how to create better training?

There are both facts and opinions, and sometimes, false or misleading content. How to check if information is trustworthy What makes a source reliable: Is it a well-known organization or news site? Is there an author? Date? Is it written clearly and professionally? What to look for before clicking on search results Title: Is it related to your question? Website: Does the link come from a site you know or trust? Description: Does it explain what you expect to find? How to verify a video is reliable Check: Who posted it? What channel? Look: Does it have lots of strange comments or unclear facts? Ask: Can you find the same information on another trusted site? Why you can’t copy any image from the internet Most images are copyrighted, which means someone owns them. Even if it’s online, using it without permission (especially in public posts) can break rules. Step-by-step demonstration: How to look for reliable resources ✅ Step 1: Ask a Simple Research Question Example : “What's the weather forecast?” or “How can I apply for a passport?” Encourage learners to think of real-life questions they may want to look up. Step 2: Open a Search Engine (e.g. Google or Bing) Show how to: Use a clear, short phrase in the search bar. Avoid typing long questions like “I need help getting a passport.” Step 3: Scan the Search Results Carefully Teach learners to check three parts of each result: Title – Does it match what you’re looking for? Web address (URL) – Is it a trusted domain (e.g., .gov, .edu, country's shorten code like .fi, ee, dk, or major organizations)? Snippet/Preview – Does it explain what the page is about in a clear way? Tip: Skip links with titles like “You won’t believe this!” or unfamiliar names. Step 4: Click on a Reliable-Looking Link Choose a site to explore. Show the learners how to: Identify who made the website. Look for an “About us” or “Contact” page. Check the date of the article or post. Step 5: Compare with a Second Website Open another site with the same information. Possible questions to ask: Are the answers similar? Which site seems more professional or official? Is there anything suspicious (ads, popups, strange language)? Step 6: Explain Red Flags for Unreliable Content Poor design or spelling errors No author or contact info Extreme claims Lots of ads or pop-ups Comments disabled or very angry comments Step-by-step demonstration: Finding copyright-free images 📷 Step 1: Explain Why Copyright Matters Start with a short explanation: “Most images on the internet are owned by someone. If you copy them without permission, it can cause problems—even legal issues. But there are some images that are free to use, and we’ll learn how to find them.” Optional tip : Show an example of a copyrighted image vs. a copyright-free one. Step 2: Open Google Images Go to: https://images.google.com Instruct learners to type a simple search term . Example: “Sunset” or “Computer” Step 3: Use Tools to Filter Usage Rights After the results appear, click on the “Tools” button below the search bar. A new menu will appear below—click on “Usage rights” . Select “Creative Commons licenses” (or “Labeled for reuse”, depending on language settings). These images are safer to use in presentations or projects. Step 4: Click on an Image and Check the Source Click one image to open it. Then click “Visit” or “Go to page” to open the website where the image is hosted. Check if the website confirms that the image is free to use (some may still require credit to the author). Tip: If it’s not clear, do not use the image . Step 5: Show Trusted Free Image Websites (Optional) Introduce learners to safe sources with fully copyright-free images: https://pixabay.com https://unsplash.com https://www.pexels.com These sites are especially useful because: All images are free to use No need to check licenses for each one Easy to search in many languages Open Badge: Searching and evaluating information Discover how to use this training material together with other themes to help learners earn the Open Badge.
