Digital media dilemmas

LESSON OBJECTIVES:

• To identify possible digital media dilemmas
• To explain media addiction and other psychological concerns
• To evaluate impact of digital media on journalism
• To discuss media authenticity

Digital media dilemmas

Digital media dilemmas

1. Reflect on a time when you have unconsciously adopted the desires of others as your own. How did this impact your mental and emotional well-being? 2. Think about someone in your life who has been an external mediator of desire for you. How has their influence affected your own desires and self-worth? 3. Consider the role of social media in shaping your desires. How do you navigate the constant bombardment of desires showcased on social media to maintain control over your own desires?

Fairness and bias in design and use

In May 2021, a study of 10,000 images found bias in what Twitter’s photo crop algorithm chose to highlight. The algorithm was more reliable in selecting lighter-skinned faces compared to those with darker skin. Twitter has stopped using the tool on its mobile app following the discovery.

AI dilemmas

ATL Activity: Thinking

In a group, conduct some wider research on the topic of accountability in the design and use of artificial intelligence. Hold a discussion to address each question. 1 How does accountability change if the end-user has more influence over an artificial intelligence system? 2 How does accountability change if the artificial intelligence is being used to support decisionmaking or make decisions on its own?

AI dilemmas

TOK connection: Knowledge and technology

Developments in artificial intelligence raise many questions about knowledge.

• What do the developments in artificial intelligence mean for knowledge?

AI dilemmas II

Lesson objectives:

• To identify Artificial Intelligence dilemmas
• To discuss AI dilemmas and its examples

Robotics and Autonomous Technologies

Types of robots and autonomous technologies

Lesson objectives:

• To define the terms “robot” and “automation”
• To distinguish the types of Robotics and Autonomous technologies

Types of robots and autonomous technologies

Types of robots and autonomous technologies

Types of robots and autonomous technologies

Service robots:Robots developed to assist humans in completing tasks that are less desirable, such as dull, dirty or dangerous jobs.

Professional service robot: Semi autonomous or fully autonomous robots developed to assist humans in commercial settings

Virtual personal assistant: Voicecontrolled helpers mainly found in smart speakers or mobile phones.

Types of robots and autonomous technologies

Research

• Research the use of service robots in a context of your choice.
• Select one of the contexts from 4.1 Cultural to 4.7 Social.
• Design a poster to communicate your findings to your friends.

Your poster should include details about several robots being used in this context. For each robot include:

• a title, image, and description of the task the robot performs
• an outline of the impact this robot is having on the user
• a statement to support why you selected this robot
• a prediction of the future of the robot, for example, will it still be in use in the next 10 years or will it become obsolete?

Artificial intelligence can be used by media companies to predict demand and adjust their media production, accordingly. Used alongside content recommendations (such as Netflix recommendations), media companies can offer a more personalized experience.

Artificial intelligence-generated synthetic media is referred to as a deepfake. Deepfakes consist of synthetic (fake) media created using deep learning. Many of these new tools are readily available online and are being used to manipulate media, whether it is superimposing one person’s face on to another (face-swapping) or manipulating a voice to change the audio and lip movement at the same time (lip-syncing).

Types of Digital Media

Deepfake: Synthetic media created with the use of deep learning/ artificial intelligence.

Fake news: False or misleading information presented as news.

Virtual reality involves programming 3D objects to perform actions depending on how the user interacts with them. This involves the use of spatial computing. Spatial computing is when physical actions are used as inputs to receive outputs in a 3D space. This could be in three degrees of freedom (3DoF) such as a 360° video, or six degrees of freedom (6DoF), which allows a user to move backwards and forwards in a virtual space.

Social media is not the only digital technology that has changed over time – the electronic games industry has also developed. The development of internet-enabled gaming consoles and personal computers has enabled more social aspects to video gaming and opened up gaming to new audiences. For example, senior citizens can now play bowling games in their retirement homes, and busy parents can play games on their phone while waiting for their children to finish after-school activities.
