Beyond the Algorithm: Digital Resilience in the Age of AI
This workshop explores digital resilience in an AI-driven world using hands-on and solution-oriented methods. The goal is to understand what AI is, where it shows up in our lives, and how to build digital resilience. Participants are invited to identify the frameworks and attitudes that allow them to navigate this increasingly digital world with confidence. By the end, they should be able to recognise how they can contribute to a safer and more resilient digital space as critically active young citizens.
What is this workshop about?
This workshop explores digital resilience in an AI-driven world using hands-on and solution-oriented methods. The goal is to understand what AI is, where it shows up in our lives, and how to build digital resilience.
The workshop is grounded on examples of AI in young peoples’ daily lives so the participants can learn the scope of this new technology. The workshop also challenges participants to reflect on AI-related issues, from deepfakes and misinformation to environmental impact and accountability.
By using concrete fictional scenarios relevant to young people and highlighting tangible steps towards digital resilience, the focus is on promoting critical thinking and a sense of agency. Participants are invited to identify the frameworks and attitudes that allow them to navigate this increasingly digital world with confidence.
