00:32Friendships are online, relationships are online, shopping's online, banking's online
00:36and that's where criminals are.
00:38A video game using real life scams is teaching students to be on their guard.
00:44Wherever that attempt to scam or contact a young person happens that they are critically
00:51thinking and just asking one question, is it dodgy or not?
00:56Artificial intelligence is making it harder and harder to tell.
01:00Why? Because it's...
01:01Dodgy!
01:03We have generative AI, we have deepfakes, they're increasing.
01:07Can we trust film? Can we trust text? Can we trust the digital world in which we live?
01:12What we're discovering is no.
01:15It means we can no longer take anything at face value.
01:18I'm not who you think I am.
01:20I'm actually a digital avatar.

01:42Russian.
01:44Spanish.
01:45Spanish.

01:55So how do you watch a news report online and know whether that's true or not?
02:00A lesson in critical thinking that's now being taught alongside maths and English.
02:06Kids like our age and a bit older, they know more about the internet and all this type of online stuff,

02:17A necessary loss of innocence in an increasingly hostile online world.
