Our project aligns with Obvia's mission, which focuses on human well-being and the development of an informed and resilient society. It aims to empower older adults, particularly vulnerable to digital frauds and manipulations, including "deepfakes," a concerning form of misinformation in the AI era. Through innovative educational approaches, we seek to enhance their personal and financial security in the digital realm.Through co-construction of knowledge activities involving deepfake technologies and the development of critical skills to evaluate the truthfulness of online content, we aim to provide seniors with the necessary tools to navigate safely and knowledgeably in an increasingly complex media environment. By adapting pedagogical strategies derived from previous research on digital agency, our initiative aims to reduce risks for this population, thereby strengthening their digital autonomy and cyber resilience.
