We chose this experiment because we wanted to see if teachers and students can recognize the difference between AI and real videos. What we think is interesting about this topic is that people can get easily tricked by AI generated videos without knowing that it’s AI generated. This mostly happens with older adults or younger kids so we are wondering how they get mislead so easily. We did have to modify our previous question since it didn't make sense and we eventually found an good question to ask. We found out that almost 20% of AI content are shown in Youtube, TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.
Your project is an insightful and highly relevant investigation into digital literacy, as you built your study on thoughtful research about how AI-generated media works, clearly defined your hypothesis and variables, designed a straightforward yet effective comparative testing method across age groups, carefully collected and analyzed real participant data, creatively connected your findings to real-world social media risks, and presented your work in an organized and meaningful way that shows curiosity, critical thinking, and growing confidence as a young researcher.
