Description (French)
#ForYou est un jeu sur l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et la protection de la vie privée qui permettra aux jeunes de réfléchir au rôle de l’apprentissage automatique et des algorithmes de recommandation dans leur quotidien, ainsi qu’aux répercussions de ceux-ci sur leur vie privée, de manière concrète, dans un cadre stimulant. Le projet place les jeunes dans le rôle de créateurs de vidéos qui tentent d’attirer des adeptes et de monétiser leurs vidéos sur une plateforme comme YouTube ou TikTok. Cette ressource éducative donnera aux jeunes l’occasion : 1) de réfléchir à la façon dont ils interagissent avec l’IA au quotidien; 2) d’en apprendre davantage sur le fonctionnement de l’IA et des algorithmes; 3) de comprendre les répercussions de l’IA et des algorithmes sur leur vie privée; 4) d’apprendre comment concevoir des algorithmes équitables, comment en faire la promotion et comment assurer une bonne intendance des renseignements permettant d’identifier les personnes.
