2.3 Engaging in citizenship through digital technologies
Knowledge
I know that a secure electronic identification, (e.g. identity cards which contain digital certificates), enables citizens to increase safety when using online services provided by the government or by the private sector.
Knowledge
I know about different types of digital services on the internet: public ones (e.g. services to consult tax information or make an appointment in the health care centre), community-based services (e.g. knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, map services such as Open Street Map, environmental monitoring services such as Sensor Community) and private services (e.g. e-commerce, online banking).
Knowledge
I know that all EU citizens have the right to not be subject to fully automated decisionmaking (e.g. if an automatic system refuses a credit application, the customer has the right to ask for the decision to be reviewed by a person). (AI)
Knowledge
I recognise that while the application of AI systems in many domains is usually uncontroversial (e.g. AI that helps avert climate change), AI that directly interacts with humans and takes decisions about their life can often be controversial (e.g. CV-sorting software for recruitment procedures, scoring of exams that may determine access to education). (AI)
Knowledge
I know that AI per se is neither good nor bad. What determines whether the outcomes of an AI system are positive or negative for society are how the AI system is designed and used, by whom and for what purposes. (AI)
Knowledge
I am aware of civil society platforms on the internet that offer opportunities for citizens to participate in actions targeting global developments to reach sustainability goals on local, regional, national, European and international level.
Knowledge
I am aware of the role of traditional (e.g. newspapers, television) and new forms of media (e.g. social media, the internet) in democratic societies.
Skills
I know how to acquire certificates from a certification authority (CA) for the purpose of a secure electronic identification.
Skills
I know how to monitor public spending of local and national government (e.g. through open data on the government’s website and open data portals).
Skills
I know how to identify areas where AI can bring benefits to various aspects of everyday life. For example, in healthcare, AI might contribute to early diagnosis, while in agriculture, it might be used to detect pest infestations. (AI)
Skills
I know how to engage with others through digital technologies for the sustainable development of society (e.g. create opportunities for joint action across communities, sectors and regions with different interests in sustainability challenges) with an awareness of technology´s potential for both inclusion/participation and exclusion.
Attitudes
I am open to change my own administrative routines and adopt digital procedures when dealing with government and public services.
Attitudes
I am ready to contemplate ethical questions related to AI systems (e.g. in which contexts, such as sentencing criminals, should AI recommendations not be used without human intervention)? (AI)
Attitudes
I consider responsible and constructive attitudes on the internet as they are the foundation for human rights, together with values such as respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy and equality.
Attitudes
I am proactive about using the internet and digital technologies to seek opportunities for constructive participation in democratic decision-making and civic activities (e.g. by participating in consultations organised by municipality, policy-makers, NGOs; signing a petition using a digital platform).
Use Case Employment scenario
I can propose and use different media strategies (e.g. Survey on FaceBook, Hashtags on Instagram and Twitter) to empower the citizens of my city to participate in defining the main topics of an event on the use of sugar in food production.
Use Case Employment scenario
I can inform my colleagues about these strategies and show them how to use a particular one to empower citizens to participate.
Use Case Learning Scenario
I can inform my classmates about these digital platforms and guide them on how to use a particular one to empower citizenship participation in their neighbourhood.
