I'm a mom who works in tech, and AI scares me. I taught my daughter these simple guidelines to spot fake content.
"I taught her to turn to Google News to find at least one legitimate news data point supporting the social media content. If she can't find anything on a legitimate news outlet supporting what she saw, she knows what's in front of her may not be real."
"I've taught her that they aren't creating content for fun; they are also out to make money, so they may cut corners or use artificial intelligence to twist the truth."
"Once she recognizes the patterns, I ensure she understands that what the algorithm thinks she wants isn't necessarily real."
"AI is part of the future - whether we like it or not. I want my daughter to know that it's not all doom and gloom."
As a mother with extensive experience in tech, I emphasize teaching my daughter critical skills for navigating AI's influence on information. I've instilled in her the importance of fact-checking questionable news by seeking corroboration from legitimate sources like Google News. She learns to recognize patterns in algorithm-driven content and to question whether it's presenting a true narrative. Furthermore, she is taught to be wary of AI-generated influencers who may not be genuine. While AI poses challenges, I believe it's essential to also acknowledge its potential for positive contributions to society. My goal is to raise her with a questioning mindset towards online information.
