We may be approaching a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/misinforeview.hks.harvard.edu\/article\/the-spread-of-synthetic-media-on-x\/\">\u201csynthetic media tipping point\u201d<\/a>, where AI-generated images and videos are becoming so realistic that traditional markers of authenticity, such as visual flaws, are rapidly disappearing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1615571\/ai-misinformation-impact-management\/\">In 2025<\/a>, 70% of people struggle to trust online information, and 64% fear AI-generated content could influence elections. We are entering an era where seeing is no longer believing.<\/p>\n<p>In such a world, learning to critically decode media is key to safeguarding truth, trust and democracy. \u201cVisual thinking strategies\u201d, a discussion technique originally developed for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hep.gse.harvard.edu\/9781612506098\/visual-thinking-strategies\/\">art education<\/a>, offers a simple but powerful framework for navigating today\u2019s complex media landscape.<\/p>\n<p>It is based on three open-ended questions around a piece of visual media (like a painting, photograph or video):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What\u2019s going on in this picture?<\/li>\n<li>What do you see that makes you say that?<\/li>\n<li>What more can we find?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These questions prompt people to slow down, observe carefully and justify their interpretations with evidence. The approach is not only about looking, it\u2019s about thinking together.<\/p>\n<p>It usually happens in a group, guided by a facilitator \u2013 often a teacher \u2013 who paraphrases and connects participants\u2019 ideas. Participants share and listen to individual observations, build on each other\u2019s contributions, challenge assumptions and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34874\/PRSM.ijududl-vol1iss1.4988\">refine their thinking<\/a>. This process surfaces biases, mitigates groupthink and promotes critical engagement.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you are shown a picture of a protest and asked \u201cWhat is going on in this picture?\u201d You say, \u201cIt looks like a climate march.\u201d When asked, \u201cwhat is it that you see makes you say that it is a climate march?\u201d, you point to the signs. Others notice the police presence, the age of the crowd, the place where it\u2019s happening or the lighting.<\/p>\n<p>As the discussion unfolds, the group begins to see the image from multiple angles. This approach is exactly what\u2019s needed in a world of manipulated images and political polarisation.<\/p>\n<p>This strategy doesn\u2019t guarantee \u201ctruth.\u201d It cultivates habits of mind that resist manipulation: curiosity, evidence-based reasoning and tolerance for ambiguity. Even if someone responds in bad faith, its structure \u2013 especially the second question, which is intended to trigger critical analysis \u2013 requires them to explain their reasoning. This opens space for others to question, clarify and reframe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hep.gse.harvard.edu\/9781682531570\/visual-thinking-strategies-for-preschool\/\">Early classroom observations<\/a>\u00a0in the 1990s revealed that children carried these reasoning habits beyond the art class, asking, \u201cwhat\u2019s going on in this text?\u201d or \u201cin this maths problem?\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/1051144X.2023.2261222\">Learners internalise this protocol<\/a>\u00a0and apply it intuitively to other activities in their everyday lives.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Why this approach matters now<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The visual thinking strategies approach has positive implications not just for media literacy, but for fostering dialogue in divided societies and improving decision-making at a policy level.<\/p>\n<p>Polarisation thrives on certainty and echo chambers. This strategy creates space for multiple interpretations and respectful disagreement, modelling the kind of dialogue democratic societies need. Participants consider alternative viewpoints and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/clelejournal.org\/article-2-shaun-nolan\/\">revise their thinking<\/a>\u00a0as new observations emerge. By showing how to disagree constructively, this technique can help rebuild trust in public discourse.<\/p>\n<p>Amid mass migration, climate crises, cultural conflict and growing inequality, empathy is not just a moral virtue: it\u2019s a strategic asset for education and social cohesion. Stepping into others\u2019 perspectives through interpreting images that reflect diverse experiences and worldviews can help people navigate this, engaging with the emotions and contexts behind the images.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders and policymakers increasingly rely on visual data such as maps, infographics and dashboards. Organisations like the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oecd.org\/en\/topics\/digital-government.html\">OECD<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/opendatatoolkit.worldbank.org\/en\/data\/opendatatoolkit\/home\">World Bank<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unstats.un.org\/sdgs\/dataportal\">UN<\/a>\u00a0acknowledge this trend. Yet visual literacy is rarely taught in business or political science education, despite the growing use of visual materials\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s11301-021-00235-8\">in courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits extend to fields where visual data drives critical action: humanitarian organisations using satellite imagery to track displacement, or climate scientists analysing environmental impact models. It can be used to train teams to notice patterns, question assumptions and surface alternative perspectives, supporting more informed, equitable outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>As AI, climate change and economic disruption reshape our societies, we need tools that help us think clearly, communicate effectively and collaborate across divides. This is one such tool that requires no expensive technology or background in art; only a willingness to look, listen, and learn. In doing so, it cultivates the capacities \u2013 curiosity, humility and critical thinking \u2013 that our world urgently needs.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Try it yourself<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-79158\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FakePic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FakePic.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/FakePic-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Take a moment to look at the above picture. Then, alone or with a group, ask:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>What\u2019s going on in this picture? What\u2019s your first impression? Is this a protest? A moment of mourning? A celebration?<\/li>\n<li>What do you see that makes you say that? Look closely. Are you focusing on the clothing? The facial expressions or the way the people are standing? Do you recognise the language on the signs?<\/li>\n<li>What more can we find? What\u2019s happening in the background? Who is included \u2013 and who might be missing? Are there many people? What assumptions are you making about the people or the event? Why?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>This image shows indigenous activists and students who forced their way into the COP30 venue in Bel\u00e9m, Brazil, on November 11, 2025. They clashed with security personnel at the entrance while demanding stronger climate action and better protection of indigenous lands. The questions above \u2013 and others you might ask \u2013 will help you understand what\u2019s depicted, and deepen your thinking about this image.<\/p>\n<p>Visual thinking strategies aren\u2019t about finding the \u201ccorrect\u201d answer. It\u2019s about slowing down, noticing more and explaining your reasoning. Try doing this exercise with a group \u2013 others may notice what you missed, challenge your interpretation or build on it. Together, you all begin to see more clearly.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> Shaun Nolan is Associate Professor in English and Sociolinguistics at Malm\u00f6 University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A fake photo of\u00a0an explosion near the Pentagon\u00a0once rattled the stock market.
