What is generative AI?
Generative AI identifies patterns in large collections of data and produces new text, images, audio or video in response to instructions. Its output can be useful, inaccurate, biased or misleading.
AI literacy
Understand the systems increasingly shaping everyday life.
You do not need to be a programmer to ask better questions about artificial intelligence.
Deepfakes 101
Deepfakes are synthetic or manipulated media made to convincingly depict something that did not occur. Look beyond visual glitches: trace the source, seek independent confirmation and examine the surrounding context.
Use AI critically
Avoid entering private or sensitive information. Verify consequential claims. Treat generated material as a draft, not an authority, and disclose AI use when context requires it.
