Digital Safety & Citizenship III: What a Machine Hands You

Start here

A machine gives you an answer, a list and a draft. A draft is a first version of some writing. What should you check?

This track's five ideas, in order.

This is Digital Safety & Citizenship III: What a Machine Hands You. Every answer, list and page here is invented.

What this track covers

  • It sounds sure. A calm answer can still be wrong.
  • Check before you share. Use a source you trust.
  • More of the same. A list can be built from taps.
  • The narrow end. A list from taps on few kinds stays narrow.
  • Say what you did. Say which part was yours.

Your school handbook covers false messages, unfair lists and who is responsible. Here you get a small way to check each one.

Need a quick recap?

  • Sure and wrong — a machine can sound sure and still be wrong.
  • Checking, not looking — a claim needs a check, not only a look.
  • One-sided examples — a program learns only what it was shown.
