Common Sense Education offers "Two Truths and AI," an activity that invites students and educators to explore how artificial intelligence can blur the line between truth and fiction. The interactive encourages learners to examine short statements generated or influenced by AI, decide which are true or false, and reflect on how AI is creating convincing but potentially misleading content. In doing so, it promotes critical digital literacy by helping students understand how AI works, how it can shape information, and how to make thoughtful judgments about what they read or see online.

In the Classroom
Share this game during the Hour of AI. Begin class with a "Two Truths and a Lie" icebreaker using everyday facts, then introduce the AI version from the website. Have students guess which statements might have been created by AI to start a discussion about how machines mimic human communication. Guide students to research examples of AI-generated content, such as news articles, art, or social media posts. In small groups, they can analyze clues that reveal when something might not be human-made and share their reasoning with the class. Challenge older students to write their own "Two Truths and an AI" statements using a classroom AI tool or generator such as Claude, reviewed here or ChatGPT, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
