The site and artificial intelligence

Does this site use artificial intelligence to work?

No, none at all. Every page is a file already written, and every demonstration calculates on this device, never on a remote server. Checking takes three seconds and asks for no trust: open your browser’s developer tools, the Network tab, reload the page, and watch what goes out. That is exactly what the black banner at the top of the page invites you to do.

Were the texts on this site written by an artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence tools help draft a first text. Nothing is published as it stands: every page is then checked source by source, and every technical statement carries its reference, opened at the time of writing. It is that checking which commits ODERSA, not the tool that held the keyboard.

Why is there no AI detector on this site?

Because detectors get it wrong. An independent evaluation of fourteen tools for detecting AI-generated text found none of them both reliable and accurate. False positives fall above all on people whose first language is not English: several widely used detectors wrongly classify the majority of their texts as generated by an artificial intelligence, while correctly recognising those of native speakers. This course teaches the clues and their limits, never an automatic verdict.

Using the site

Do I need an account?

No. Nothing asks for an account, a password or a sign-up. The whole course is open from the very first visit.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. ODERSA is a non-profit association under the French law of 1901: it sells nothing in return, so it has nothing to invoice here.

May I use it in class, in training or in a team meeting?

Yes. The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence: you may copy it, project it, print it and adapt it, on the single condition that you credit ODERSA. The detail of the conditions is on the licence page.

Do the demonstrations work without a connection?

Yes, once the page is loaded. Every demonstration embeds its own code and its own data in the page: nothing calls a server during the calculation, so nothing depends on a connection to work.

Do I need to enable JavaScript?

Not for reading: all the texts of the course read without JavaScript. The hands-on demonstrations need it to calculate in the browser. When JavaScript is missing, the page explains how to redo the exercise by hand, on paper, rather than staying a blank page.

Your data

Does the site follow what I browse?

No. No tracker, no measurement tool in these pages, no tracking cookie. You can check it in the same place as the rest: the Network tab of your browser’s developer tools.

One thing is nevertheless recorded, at the edge of the network, by the host: ordinary technical logs, a request received and an answer sent, with no cookie and nothing that identifies a person or follows them from one page to the next. The association reads those logs by hand, occasionally, to write its reports. It is not an audience measurement running continuously: it is an occasional reading, by a person, for a specific document.

Is what I type into a demonstration sent anywhere?

No. A demonstration calculates entirely on your device: what you type does not leave it, and nothing is kept once the page is closed.

The content

Which languages is the course offered in?

The course is served in 7 languages. The selector at the top of the page leads to each one.

Is the content up to date, and who corrects mistakes?

The content is reviewed every six months: the subject and its sources move fast. To report an error without waiting for that review, the page report an error is open at any time, with no account and no form.

Which frameworks do you rely on?

On the artificial intelligence literacy frameworks published by international institutions: the common framework from the OECD and the European Commission for primary and secondary education, and the two UNESCO competency frameworks, one for students and one for teachers. Their full addresses are gathered on the page the official frameworks, and in the sources at the bottom of this page.

Does this course hold for any country?

Yes. The way a model builds its answer is the same everywhere: this course describes it once, for everyone. Whatever depends on a country or a region enters as a module alongside, never inside the common core.

Who ODERSA is

Who runs this site?

ODERSA, a non-profit association under the French law of 1901. Its status, its governance and how it works are described on the association page of odersa.org.

How do I write to ODERSA?

Two addresses, depending on the subject: literacy@odersa.org for this course, contact@odersa.org for the administration of the association.
