You Decide. \u2013 Teaching Media and Information Literacy in AI-Mediated Information Environments<\/em>, a companion guide to its Media and Information Literacy Curriculum. The resource was introduced during Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2026 (24\u201331 October 2026).<\/p>\n<p>UNESCO says generative AI can create convincing texts, images, audio and video, while algorithms increasingly shape what people see online, raising questions about reliability, authenticity, privacy, bias and transparency. Rather than teaching specific tools, the guide looks at how AI influences information, knowledge, human behaviour and society, in five areas: AI in everyday life; AI and the media; AI, the human mind and knowledge; AI, power and human rights; and AI and the future.<\/p>\n<p>The guide is written mainly for educators, teacher-training institutions and curriculum developers, and combines explanations with discussion questions and classroom activities. It builds on UNESCO&#8217;s 2021 curriculum <em>Media and Information Literate Citizens: Think Critically, Click Wisely!<\/em>, which has been piloted and adapted in more than 40 countries. It was authored by Anne Lepp\u00e4j\u00e4rvi, developed with eight international experts and peer-reviewed by ten more specialists.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note from Evangelii Network Japan: this is our own comment, not part of UNESCO&#8217;s announcement. The guide&#8217;s focus on preserving human agency and judgement connects with themes in our paper <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evangeliinetworkjapan.org\/catholic-ai-human-dignity\/\">Catholic AI and Human Dignity<\/a>, and may be useful for Catholic schools and catechists.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/ai-answers-you-decide-unesco-launches-new-media-and-information-literacy-curriculum\">UNESCO: AI Answers.
