Elaborations
- • Elaboration evaluating how an existing solution ensures users can control their safety and experience online as described in the Safety by Design Vision for Young People, for example ensuring privacy settings are comprehensive, easy to use and set to maximum protection by default
- • Elaboration reviewing the requirements of a user story to ensure that their solution meets the user's needs, for example making sure that recommendations offered by their music application are of a similar genre to the rest of the user's library
- • Elaboration judging existing solutions on the basis of their possible impact on the economy, environment or society, for example cloud computing services decrease data loss but require vast amounts of electricity to power the servers
- • Elaboration discussing the risks and consequences of AI-generated content on social media platforms; for example, the potential for the spread of misinformation due to high volumes of automatically generated and intentionally misleading content being posted
