A photo appears in a social media feed. A video is shared in a group chat. A voice message sounds like someone we know. A headline looks convincing enough to repost.
But in an age of artificial intelligence, a difficult question is becoming part of everyday life: can we still trust what we see and hear online?
AI tools can now generate realistic images, videos, voices, and texts in seconds. This creates exciting opportunities for creativity, communication, and learning. At the same time, it also makes manipulation easier. Deepfakes, fake news, AI-generated scams, and misleading content are becoming harder to recognize with the human eye alone.
This is not a technical problem, but rather a skills challenge.
For many years, digital skills were often understood as the ability to use devices, software, and online platforms. Today, that is no longer enough. Citizens, students, educators, and employees also need to understand how digital content is produced, how algorithms influence what they see, and how artificial intelligence can shape information.
The ability to ask critical questions is becoming just as important as the ability to use digital tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Digital responsibility means using technology in a way that is ethical, critical, and aware of its wider social consequences. It includes media literacy, critical thinking, privacy awareness, ethical judgement, and the confidence to challenge misleading or harmful digital content. \u0421\u043d\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0430

This is especially important for young people and learners, who are growing up in digital environments shaped by algorithms and AI-generated content. They do not only need to learn how to use technology efficiently. They also need the competences to understand, question, and responsibly participate in digital society.
The \u041f\u0440\u043e\u0435\u043a\u0442 DIRECT<\/strong> addresses this need by supporting the development of digital responsibility competences in education and training. By focusing on skills, awareness, and practical learning, \u0414\u0418\u0420\u0415\u041a\u0422\u041d\u041e <\/strong>contributes to preparing people for a digital world where trust cannot be taken for granted. In the future, the most important digital skill may not simply be knowing how to use technology – but knowing when and how to question it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
