The Public Lecture “Telecom Frauds” Are Not Related to You? — Media Literacy in the AI Era will take place on 9 May, from 8 – 9:30 PM in the Don Bosco Auditorium.
About the Talk:
Cases of Telecom Frauds are becoming increasingly rampant, with the amounts involved reaching new highs. Despite more promotional efforts to prevent scams, it seems that the scammers are always one step ahead. However, the general public often feels that Telecom Frauds are not related to them. But is this really the case?
This sharing session will explore the true reasons behind the prevalence of Telecom Frauds from the perspectives of cultural and technological development. At the same time, it will discuss how media literacy in the AI era can help everyone establish the right mindset and specific actions to effectively deal with Telecom Frauds.
