The team will co-design a tool to help students independently and critically evaluate AI-generated information.
The project builds on an existing collaboration between Dr. Pilyoung Kim and The Tech, where she served as a key advisor, developing AI literacy lessons for the organization’s National AI Literacy Day activations.
The project aims to create a tool that reflects how students actually encounter AI-generated information at school, at home, and in daily life.
The goal is to help students build agency, not fear, as they grow up in an AI-driven world.
