4.1 Fair and unbiased

🎯 Goal: understand how unfairness can sneak into AI
  • AI learns from data made by people. If the data is unfair, answers can be unfair.
  • Bias can show up as stereotypes or leaving some people out.
  • Notice who is missing or described in a narrow way.
  • Ask Claude for fair, varied examples and speak up when something feels unfair.

4.3 Truth and fakes

🎯 Goal: handle fake pictures, voices and videos
  • AI can make very realistic fake pictures, voices and videos (deepfakes).
  • Old clues like odd fingers are not reliable as fakes improve.
  • Check the source: who posted it, is it on trusted news, is there a second source?
  • Do not forward shocking content. Pause, check, tell a grown-up.

🎭 Check the source, not just the picture
