    Episode 19: Whom does AI serve? And why does this matter to me?

    “This English version was translated using artificial intelligence (HeyGen https://app.heygen.com/home) and uses an AI-generated reproduction of the speaker’s voice.” Artificial intelligence services are useful, but they also collect data that can benefit technology companies, advertisers and public institutions. In this episode, Unai Chacón examines whogains from AI systems and why data privacy matters to every user. The discussion offers practical guidance on protecting sensitive information, evaluating AI-generated answers and demanding clearer explanations about how personal data is used. In this episode: How everyday AI services and social platforms collect and process user data. Who can benefit from this information, including technology companies, advertisers and governments. How algorithms use personal data to predict behaviour, personalise content and influence decisions. Why opaque terms and automatic consent make it difficult for users to make informed choices. Practical ways to protect privacy, avoid sharing sensitive data and verify AI-generated information.

    Episode 17: What is AI competence compared to digital competence

    “This English version was translated using artificial intelligence (HeyGen https://app.heygen.com/home) and uses an AI-generated reproduction of the speaker’s voice.” Digital skills are no longer enough to navigate a world shaped by artificial intelligence. In this episode, Ibai Martínez explains how AI competence builds on basic digital competence while adding critical thinking, ethical judgement and an understanding of bias and system limitations. The discussion also explores employability, AI in education and practical ways to help beginners learn with confidence. In this episode: The difference between digital competence and AI competence. Why basic digital skills remain the foundation for learning to use AI. How AI literacy supports employability and helps people use AI as a tool rather than fear replacement. Why bias, hallucinations and the limits of training data require critical evaluation. How Google Teachable Machine can make AI bias and limitations visible in the classroom.
