What happened

The Organisation internationale de la Francophonie (OIF), with CLEMI and Viginum, launched an online self-training course titled “Intelligence artificielle et manipulations de l’information.” The initiative notes that AI can transform information and, at times, enable deceptive content, prompting a push for media education to strengthen critical thinking.

Why it matters

The program seeks to bolster media literacy and provide guidance for educators to address AI-amplified information disorders among young audiences, supporting an informed digital citizenship.

The course is part of a broader effort by the OIF to protect information integrity and support democratic dialogue. It aims to help francophone educators develop teaching methods to counter manipulations amplified by AI, especially for vulnerable youth.

It encourages critical reading of digital content and the transmission of guidance to young generations for responsible digital citizenship within the francophone education space.
