This resource is provided for teachers in both the primary and secondary phase to use as part of the curriculum to prompt discussion and generate thinking about deep fakes.
Deep fakes are a type of artificial intelligence technology that can create highly realistic but fake images, videos, or audio recordings. By using machine learning algorithms, deep fakes can manipulate existing media to make it appear as though someone is saying or doing something they never actually said or did. This technology can be used for creative purposes, but it also raises concerns about misinformation and privacy. It’s important for staff and students to be aware of deep fakes and to learn how to identify them to avoid being misled by false information.
