6th Grade Movie
Movie Description:
AI can write code, generate images, and produce amazingly lifelike videos. But AI models also make mistakes — or even invent information entirely! And people can use AI to spread untruths, either knowingly or unknowingly. Understanding this helps explain why even reasonable-looking AI results need to be verified. Spotting red flags, asking for sources, and using reverse image search tools are all part of staying skeptical in a world where content can be created and spread faster than ever. Press "play" to learn how to spot the real deal.

Movie Description:
AI doesn't think—it just repeats patterns. And when those patterns are skewed, the results can be too. When certain groups are repeatedly portrayed in the same roles or described in similar ways, AI learns to treat those patterns as the norm, reinforcing stereotypes and unfair assumptions. That can affect hiring decisions, facial recognition tools, autocomplete features, and social media feeds. Understanding algorithmic discrimination and confirmation bias builds the critical thinking skills needed to spot and challenge biased outputs. Press "play" to find out how to spot bias in bots, plus how to push back on it.

Movie Description:
Every one of your clicks, swipes, and searches leaves behind a digital trail—and those trails add up fast. Personal data can include names and phone numbers, along with browsing habits or location data. Websites collect this information through cookies and other tracking tools. AI-powered algorithms then sort through the data to predict interests and build detailed user profiles. Those profiles influence what appears on your screen. You might see ads aimed at your specific interests, news stories selected to match your past behavior, or recommendations designed to hold your attention. Although personalization can make online experiences more convenient, it can also reinforce filter bubbles and take advantage of personal insecurities. Regain some control by browsing in incognito mode, changing your privacy settings, being selective about what you share online, and clearing cookies regularly. Press “play” to discover more about how your personal data affects your online experience.
