Agreement Value:

$50,000.00

Agreement Date:

May 19, 2021 - Mar 31, 2022

Description:

#ForYou: A Game About Artificial Intelligence and Privacy will equip young people to consider and discuss the role of machine learning and recommendation algorithms in their lives and the impacts that these have on their privacy, in a way that is concrete and engaging. The project places youth in the role of video creators who are attempting to gain a following and monetize their videos on a platform such as YouTube or TikTok. This educational resource will give youth an opportunity to: 1) reflect on the ways in which they interact with AI in their day-to-day lives; 2) learn more about how AI and algorithms work; 3) understand the implications of AI and algorithms on their privacy, and; 4) learn how to take action to advocate for and design algorithms that are equitable and practice good stewardship of personally identifying information
