This interactive explainer introduces the concept of AI-generated deepfake images and provides clues to help the user understand how and why they are created.

Designing tech with friction

The experimental component of Module A aims to further characterise internet users' behaviours when faced with online choices potentially undermining their autonomy: how people evaluate AI-generated information and/or content selected through AI-based algorithms, and how people are influenced by

Companies have significant influence over public discourse in online platforms, necessitating that the algorithms that shape these online platforms should be regulated and constrained to sufficiently consider the public interest (Susskind, 2018: 350).

This document examines autonomy as a form of agentive control grounded in attention regulation, goal-directed action, and reflexivity.

The source, which comprises excerpts from Module A of the KT4D Social Risk Toolkit, explores the complex challenge presented by artificial intelligence to individual autonomy and free will within modern society.

This section considers how people’s autonomy and free will are hindered or supported by past and present KTs. By focusing on the structural level, we will examine systemic issues such as monopolies over KTs, data extraction and colonialism, labour, and political participation.
