WORKSHOP ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CYBERSECURITY
Day/Date: Friday, 02 May 2025
An engaging and informative workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity was organised for classes VIII and IX on Friday, 2nd May 2025. The session aimed to spread awareness about the ethical use of AI, emerging cyber threats, and the importance of digital safety in our tech-driven lives.
The workshop began with an activity where students had to identify AI-generated images versus real ones. This sparked an interactive discussion on misinformation, deepfakes, and the growing need to verify digital content. Students also addressed concerns around over-reliance on AI, privacy issues, and how personal data is used to train AI models.
The session then transitioned into cybersecurity, where students learned about app permissions, data tracking, common scams like phishing, fake giveaways, unsafe downloads, and the risks of interacting with strangers online. Real-life scenarios and simple preventive measures were shared, helping students understand how to recognize and respond to cyber threats.
The workshop concluded with a glimpse into the positive potential of AI and a reminder that cybersecurity is not just a tech issue, but a life skill every digital citizen must develop.
The initiative was both insightful and practical, empowering students to become safer and smarter users of technology.
