UNESCO issues a media and information literacy guide for teaching in AI-mediated information environments

10 November 2026

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization released a new guide for teaching media and information literacy where artificial intelligence shapes what people see and read.
It is titled AI Answers. You Decide, and is a companion to UNESCO's existing media and information literacy curriculum.
The guide is organised in five areas: artificial intelligence in everyday life; artificial intelligence and the media; artificial intelligence, the human mind and knowledge; artificial intelligence, power and human rights; and artificial intelligence and the future.
Each section carries explanations, discussion questions and classroom activities that teachers can adapt.
Eight international experts wrote the guide and ten more specialists reviewed it.
The parent curriculum, Media and Information Literate Citizens, has been piloted and adapted in more than forty countries.
The publication was introduced during Global Media and Information Literacy Week 2026.
