As AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, understanding how to build, use, and interact with technology safely and responsibly is more important than ever. This highly interactive workshop introduces young participants to the essential concepts of AI security, cybersecurity, digital resilience, and responsible innovation in an AI-driven world.
Through immersive scenario-based exercises using interactive challenge cards, collaborative attacker-versus-defender simulations, real-world examples, and hands-on team activities, participants will explore how AI systems can be both helpful and vulnerable, how cyber attackers manipulate people and technology, and why ethics, trust, and human behaviour play a critical role in building safe digital environments. Participants will engage in realistic cyber and AI-related challenges designed to strengthen critical thinking, collaboration, ethical decision-making, and problem-solving skills while exploring real-world risks such as misinformation, deepfakes, social engineering, online manipulation, privacy risks, and digital trust.
The session encourages young innovators to think not only like technology creators, but also like responsible digital citizens capable of recognizing vulnerabilities, questioning online content critically, and designing safer and more ethical AI-enabled solutions. Participants will gain practical strategies to strengthen digital resilience, protect themselves and their communities online, and better understand the growing relationship between AI, cybersecurity, ethics, and society.
By the end of the workshop, participants will have a stronger understanding of how trustworthy technology is built, how cyber threats evolve in the age of AI, and why human awareness, ethics, and resilience remain among the most important defenses in the digital world.
Learning objectives:
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify key ethical and security considerations in AI, including privacy, fairness, accountability, misinformation, and responsible use of data.
- Develop critical thinking skills to evaluate how AI technologies, algorithms, and online platforms can influence behaviour, trust, decision-making, and society.
