For College Students
Ages 18-22
Confront the full complexity: hidden labor exploitation, environmental costs exported to rural communities, AI safety theater, and systematic discrimination. Hands-on experiences building both harmful and resistance tools. End with actionable commitments.
Scroll down to begin your journey. Each experience builds on the last.
The Bias Machine
Can AI be objective if humans are not?
Train an AI to approve mortgages. Watch it learn digital redlining—discriminating by zip code as a proxy for race, even when demographics are hidden. Based on real cases: Berkeley study found $250-500M/year in discriminatory charges, HUD settlements, and Chicago Tribune exposés showing 2.5x denial rates for Black applicants.
The Energy Bill
Who really pays for your free AI?
Track your daily AI usage and calculate the energy cost. Then discover who really pays: Mesa, Arizona (Meta data centers, 905M gallons water, extreme drought). West Des Moines, Iowa (Microsoft, 70M gallons, city's largest water user). Northern Virginia (AWS, 102 data centers, 70% of world's internet). Small towns sacrifice water, energy, and quality of life for your free ChatGPT.
The Jailbreak Chronicles
Why do AI safety systems keep breaking?
Investigate 7 real jailbreak cases from 2022-present. Read the actual prompts used—DAN, Grandma exploit, Bing Sydney, multi-turn attacks. Understand what these failures reveal about the fundamental challenges of AI alignment.
When Seeing Isn't Believing
How did deepfakes evolve from warning to weapon?
Journey through 4 real deepfake cases (2018-2024): Obama PSA warning, Tom Cruise TikTok perfection, Zelenskyy war propaganda, $25.6M Arup video call heist. Watch how the technology evolved from detectable fakes to perfect simulations. Understand the real risks: financial fraud, political manipulation, wartime propaganda, non-consensual deepfakes. Learn how to protect yourself when video can no longer be trusted.
Write Your AI Bill of Rights
What rights should humans have?
Draft your own AI Bill of Rights like the US Constitution. Select from 10 potential rights (notification, explanation, opt-out, correction, human review, data deletion, non-discrimination, meaningful consent, privacy, compensation). See real scenarios showing how each right changes lives: job applications, loans, medical diagnosis, welfare, sentencing. Based on real events: Amazon hiring tool, Apple Card bias, COMPAS, Dutch welfare scandal, Clearview AI. Sign and share your bill.
Ethical AI Manifesto
What are your principles?
Write your own manifesto: up to 10 principles for ethical AI. Get inspired by examples (transparency, human oversight, ethical sourcing, bias reduction, privacy protection, creator compensation). Choose your style (Bold Declaration, Signed Letter, Numbered List). Sign it with your name. Copy it, share it, use it as your decision-making framework. Make your values public. Hold yourself and others accountable.
