Ethical Artificial Intelligence: Proactive Districts, Better Teaching and Stronger Students

Ethical Artificial Intelligence: Proactive Districts, Better Teaching and Stronger Students | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From edu-ai.org - June 20, 3:00 PM

"Schools must ensure that students are prepared to confront the ethical dilemmas that Artificial Intelligence (AI), like all new technologies, will inevitably present. Humans have created AI and are learning from it. Consequently, AI will have flaws that require skillful interaction to uphold the basic tenets of right and wrong."

EDTECH@UTRGV's curator insight, June 27, 11:23 AM

"Schools can enhance ethics education by evaluating AI-enabled support regarding levels of acceptability. Districts should strengthen professional development to return to effective pedagogy, and teachers must demonstrate appropriate behaviors and elucidate challenging ethical concepts, which will create an environment for students to learn collaboratively with AI."

Generation Z, or Gen Z, refers to individuals born between approximately 1997 and 2012. This generation is already using AI tools in creative and practical ways. However, according to Gallup’s “Voices of Gen Z: Preparing the Heartland for an AI Future” report, most aren’t receiving the support they need from schools and workplaces to capitalize on AI’s full potential."

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts

Beware Artificial Teaching Assistants Bearing Gifts | EdTech: The New Normal | Scoop.it
From edu-ai.org - June 20, 1:00 PM

"What are the assumptions about learning embodied in the algorithms? When I was a junior in high school, my English teacher asked our class to read Hamlet and to write an essay on the line, 'There’s a special providence in the fall of a sparrow.' Not surprisingly, given that he was the school’s minister, he believed this line was the “most significant” in the play. Unfortunately, its significance—how, in my teacher’s words, it was “central to making sense of the play”—was lost on me. I wrote a wretched essay, most of which made no sense to me or him."
