It’s Global Media and Information Literacy Week!

What is Global MIL Week?
This week (24-31 October) is the United Nations’ (UN) Global Media and Information Literacy Week. Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is the ability to think carefully about what we see in the media, and how we use it, so that we can all feel informed, empowered, and healthy.
The UN launched its annual MIL Week in 2021, and the theme for 2025 is ‘Minds over AI’. In a short space of time, AI has become an everyday part of communication, creating content and shaping what we see.
The focus of the week is to use our human judgement to recognise and spot AI in the media, and to use AI carefully and responsibly.
