Students in my media literacy course collaborate to create a class AI policy. They always tend to want it available in restricted use cases because 1. they find some elements of it useful, and 2. employers want them to be familiar with it so they think it preps them for post graduation.

Every time I teach Media Literacy, I ask students what they think are the top 3-5 news stories since 2000. I usually have the top 10 but this year it is only 9 because of so little consensus. And yes, for 9, they wrote "prez elections," not any in particular, so I wasn't forcing it to be a catchall.
Screenshot of lecture slide with students top news stories since 2000, with 9/11 and COVID as the top two.

When political parties use AI images they need to label them, according to the EU AI Act. More fundamentally they should ask themselves if they really want to contribute to the authenticity blur. I comment on a recent case in Danish politics here @ddc-sdu.bsky.social www.dr.dk/nyheder/poli...
