Start with plain-language explanations. Switch levels at any time.

Beginner explanation

Generative tools can make pictures, speech and video as well as text. They may also alter details you intended to preserve. Review names, faces, numbers, captions and context before sharing any result.

Intermediate explanation

Multimodal systems process or generate more than one type of data. Describe what may change and what must stay fixed. Use fictional practice material, respect consent and check applicable licensing and platform requirements before public reuse.

Advanced explanation

Evaluate modality-specific errors such as fabricated visual details, transcription omissions and temporal inconsistency. Provenance metadata can support an audit trail but is not universal proof of authenticity. Keep source assets and approved edits separately versioned.

PUT IT IN CONTEXT

A worked example

A fictional evacuation-training poster has a correct headline but an invented exit arrow. Even a visually attractive image needs review against the actual approved layout. Practice with a fictional room rather than use an unverified poster operationally.

TRY IT YOURSELF

Practice the idea

Create a review checklist for a generated event poster with an illustration, date, venue and accessibility instructions.

Your working notes (not saved or sent)

Reveal the answer guide

Check the exact date and address, text legibility, approved access instructions, image rights and consent, and whether the illustration could mislead. Verify any required disclosure using the destination’s current rules before publication.

Go further: advanced challenge

Explain what evidence would distinguish an authorized image edit from an authentic unedited photograph. Include the limits of metadata.

An open-ended discussion task. Explain your assumptions and evidence; there may be more than one defensible answer.
