Class 6 AI: Ethics and Digital Responsibility – Questions and Answers
The Ethics and Digital Responsibility chapter teaches students to use AI and the internet safely and fairly: protect personal data, check before sharing, recognise deepfakes and bias, and use AI tools honestly for schoolwork.
[ WORKED EXAMPLE ]
What is a deepfake?
Answer: A fake video or image made with AI to look real.
- AI can create or change faces and voices in videos and photos.
- When this is done to look real, it is called a deepfake.
- Deepfakes can spread false information, so check before you believe or share.
What this chapter is about
Students learn about privacy, strong passwords, fake news and deepfakes, cyberbullying and the fair use of AI tools.
They see that AI can be unfair when its training data leaves groups out (bias).
The aim is a habit: pause, check, protect and ask a trusted adult when unsure.
