Better Internet for Kids

Nowadays, AI-generated content is everywhere: images, videos, near-perfect text, schoolwork, social media content, advertisements, and even news. 

AI can create highly convincing material in a matter of seconds; while this isn't necessarily a bad thing, it does require us to pay closer attention to the content we consume and share, since not everything we see is real. 

In this blog post, we talk about recognising deepfakes, the role of families and educators, and how we can address this at home, in the classroom, or on our own.

With this teaching unit, students will be able to develop critical thinking about the various ways they can use artificial intelligence (AI), as well as its impact on their own lives and those of those around them.

This is an educational activity designed to foster critical thinking among students regarding information generated by artificial intelligence (AI). Students are encouraged to analyse, cross-reference, and verify AI-generated content, thereby learning to identify potential errors, biases, or unreliable information.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an everyday tool in our children's lives. It is no longer a thing of the future, but a technology integrated into devices, games, apps, and social media. We do not always know how it might affect them; that is why, in this podcast, we reveal the keys to understanding the risks and guiding young people through a safe digital environment.

It is already part of our lives, but how does it work? Is it good? What happens if I consider it my friend? 

In this video, young people from the "Cibercorresponsales" (Cyber-correspondents) program of the "Plataforma de Infancia" (Youth Panel) reflect on how they use artificial intelligence (AI) and the consequences it might have.

This report, Children and young people's online strategies (Barns och ungas strategier online), examines how children and young people reason about their use of digital and social media, with a particular focus on how they navigate digital risks. The report was produced within the framework of the EU-funded project Safer Internet Centre Sweden.

An accompanying literature review is also available. The review provides an overview of how research conducted over the past five years has identified and examined the different strategies children may apply when encountering digital risks.
