Digital Literacy and AI
The students of today will be the developers, policymakers, and users of AI tomorrow. We don't need to be experts ourselves to engage students in conversations that promote critical thinking about both AI's potential and its limitations.
Questions to ponder with students:
- How do you think AI could be helpful to your learning? How could it be harmful?
- If AI can automate boring tasks, what are the negative effects of never experiencing boredom?
- What's the difference between using AI and cheating?
- What role does generative AI play in misinformation?
- If something can be easily automated by AI, do schools still need to teach it?
- How might AI be used in wise and ethical ways to make the world better?
- How do you think AI might enhance or hinder the learning experience in schools?
- Where am I using AI without even realizing I'm using AI?
- What are the ways AI is already replacing human decision-making? What are the risks and benefits of this?
- What types of biases and stereotypes do you see in the AI you are using?
- Does AI violate the intellectual property rights of creators?
- Can you copyright/publish AI-created art or writing?
- How do you think careers associated with your academy will be impacted by advances in AI?
Considering your academy's focus, what AI-related questions would spark meaningful discussions with students?
