AI, Algorithms and Media Literacy: Why are Ethics Important? Part 1

In the fifth episode of the InfoDetox podcast, we look at how artificial intelligence and algorithms are already influencing our daily lives, education, and way of thinking. We usually don’t notice their presence, but they shape our information space, content consumption, and language behavior. Vadim Gorodskoy, program director of the NGO Detector Media, will talk about the threat of deepfakes, a technology that allows you to create fake videos and audio using AI. We will also learn how to recognize them and why critical thinking is becoming vital. This episode raises issues of digital ethics, privacy, and how educators can use the potential of AI to benefit students. The main conclusion is clear: without information and media literacy skills, we risk losing control over our own digital reality.
