As communicators, we recognize how artificial intelligence is transforming the way information is created, shared and consumed. From shaping what appears in our news feeds to generating the content we encounter every day, AI continues to influence how people understand the world around them.
This year’s Global Media and Information Literacy Week calls on us to put “Minds Over AI” — ensuring that human ethics, judgment and critical thinking remain at the heart of our digital spaces. Media and information literacy equips individuals to question sources, recognize algorithmic bias and engage responsibly with AI-generated information.
UNA-Atlanta joins the global conversation on strengthening digital literacy and empowering communities to think critically and ethically in an age shaped by automation.
About Global Media and Information Literacy Week
Each year, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) leads Global Media and Information Literacy Week to spotlight the importance of informed, ethical communication in our interconnected world. The observance brings together educators, journalists, policymakers and community leaders to strengthen media and information literacy across societies.
At its core, the week promotes access to reliable information, encourages critical thinking and empowers people everywhere to engage responsibly in digital spaces. It serves as a reminder that media and information literacy are essential to building more inclusive, peaceful and resilient communities.
