Safety and digital literacy: AI can make mistakes and can make fake pictures, voices and videos (deepfakes) — check facts with trusted sources and never share private information with chatbots. In stories, AI robots and computers are common characters. Phrases: AI system, AI chatbot, use AI, AI-generated. ### Examples - AI helps the phone understand what I say.
