India is speedrunning AI adoption while skipping digital literacy

AI can now generate voices, images, videos, essays, fake evidence, and misinformation at scale, yet most students are never taught how to verify digital content. Schools teach us how to pass exams but not how to identify deepfakes, understand recommendation algorithms, verify sources, or recognize manipulation online. An entire generation is growing up in an AI-driven information environment without the digital literacy needed to navigate it safely. The problem is not AI itself. The problem is that we are deploying powerful technology faster than we are teaching people how to use it responsibly. Society is speedrunning the future while skipping the tutorial.
