About this Event
Can you tell what’s real—and what was made by AI?
The Youth AI Forum 2026: “What Should We Believe?” is a free, one-day, hands-on AI and media literacy experience for high school students ages 15 and older, presented by KCul Foundation in partnership with Temple University.
Students will become AI Media Investigators and participate in an interactive AI Media Forensics Lab, where they will learn to:
🔎 DETECT — Identify AI-generated and manipulated media
🧠 ANALYZE — Investigate misinformation, bias, and how digital content can shape what we believe
⚖️ JUDGE — Make informed decisions about what to trust, question, and share
Students will work alongside university faculty, college student mentors, educators, and other high school students while tackling real-world challenges in today’s rapidly changing AI information environment.
The goal isn’t to teach students what to believe. It’s to teach them how to decide.
