Year 6, Lesson 1

Real or generated?

AI can fake images, voices and video, so we need a checking routine and firm rules about real people.

Safeguarding. This lesson deals with privacy, chatbot relationships or images of real people. The plan flags this, and any disclosure should be handled through your school's safeguarding procedures. More on safety

The signature activity

The Gallery of Fakes: pupils hunt for clues, build the class Pause, Look, Ask, Check routine and agree why we never make or share AI images of real people without consent.

Learning intentions

  • I can explain what generated pictures, voices and videos are, and why they fool us.
  • I can use Pause, Look, Ask, Check before I believe or share something.
  • I can explain why we never make or share AI pictures of real people without consent.

The slides

Teacher notes and answers sit in the speaker notes of every slide, and printable resources are at the end of the deck.
