ALKU students visit a nursing home
Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat Üniversitesi:
Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University (ALKÜ) continues its commitment to social responsibility through its social projects. As part of these projects, students from the ALKÜ Nexus Software Development and Project Workshop conducted a "Technology Safety Training" for residents of a nursing home in Alanya during Senior Citizens' Week. Around 20 engineering students participated in the program, which was organized under the direction of Dr. Mert Gülsoy, lecturer at the ALKÜ Center for Distance Learning, Application and Research (ALKUZEM).
The program was finalized before its launch, its suitability was verified, and the technology underwent the necessary analysis. Internet use, data verification, online account security, and digital communication all carry the risk of customers gaining unauthorized access to the information they require.
WARNING ABOUT DIGITAL FRAUD
The training, which also addressed the increasing use of AI-powered fraud methods, emphasized the need to be wary of fraud perpetrated by technologies such as deepfakes (fake videos, images, sounds, and content that appear deceptively real thanks to artificial intelligence). The residents of the nursing home listened attentively to the explanations and asked questions. Lively discussions took place between the students and the residents following the training. As part of the visit, the seniors received care and hygiene products as gifts to brighten their holiday season. This initiative demonstrated once again that students are not only academically minded but also socially responsible. The visit concluded with a group photo.
