Supporting inclusive and sustainable digitalisation through #DigitalCitizenship initiatives and other #DigitalCompetence development efforts
If you are using AI to code, are you telling employers that they should hire AI for a coding position? Replace “code” with anything else.
Philosophically, when using AI, does it mean you need AI to create better work OR that you won’t be bothered to do the nitty gritty?
New Jobs will be created. Some jobs will be lost. All jobs will be changed. ~ Jensen Huang, NVIDIA CEO
Implications for digital education are immense: need to equip students and workers, blue or white collar, with understanding of AI and competences to apply it to solve problems
#DigitalCitizenship lesson of the day:
✅ Evaluate your social media post from the perspective of empathy and respect for others’ personal/ human rights
✅ Ask permission before sharing photos or videos of others in online spaces
