Global Intelligence: What the World is Doing

We've analyzed 10 leading international AI literacy initiatives. Here are the top 5 insights driving our curriculum:

Singapore's Creation Mandate

Students generate deepfakes and synthetic news—then deconstruct what they made. Detection skills decay in months; creation literacy lasts years.

MIT's Synthetic Media Gymnasium

Gamified AI detection training shows 340% improvement in accuracy after 12 hours of competitive play.

EU Digital Services Act

Treating media literacy as infrastructure, not education—forcing systems to be readable rather than teaching people to decode black boxes.

Japan's AI Ethics Integration

Embedded AI media literacy into moral education, asking "Just because you can generate this, should you?"

Australia's Algorithmic Reverse Engineering

Students predict what algorithms will show them next based on viewing patterns, demystifying the "magic" of personalization.
