Why This Training Matters
AI systems work using large-scale data collection, automated decision-making, and algorithm-based processing.
Because of this, they can be exposed to risks such as:
- Unauthorized data access
- Privacy violations
- Algorithmic bias
- Automated cyber attacks
- Deepfake manipulation
- AI-assisted fraud and misinformation
With the increasing use of generative AI tools and intelligent platforms, cyber security has become a serious concern not only for individuals but also for educational institutions.
Teachers, administrators, and learners are now highly dependent on AI-based digital platforms for teaching, learning, assessment, and communication.
