Artificial Intelligence #IBGC2023: Ethics

From Dr. Torrey Trust, "A Google slide deck that presents a detailed overview of ChatGPT, including what educators should know about the AI writing tool, what the tool can do (and not do), and what educators can do in the era of AI writing tools."

This curricular resources about AI ethics includes background information and four student-driven projects that relate to subject area standards, while providing foundational learning on what AI is, how it works and how it impacts society.

With these hands-on projects, students work directly with innovative AI technologies, participate in “unplugged” activities and create various products — from chatbots to presentations to video games — to demonstrate their learning. These hands-on guides are available in English, Spanish and Arabic.

In a world where technology is outpacing legislation, it is important to consider how systemic racism and sexism exist in the data processed by AIs, reinforcing stereotypes and misinformation.

In this All Things Considered episode, NPR's Ailsa Chang speaks with scholar Safiya Noble about how advancements in artificial intelligence could further perpetuate biases in society.

Addresses the racism and sexism perpetrated via AI, search engines, and their algorithms, and how these biases can negatively impact young children and their families, particularly as teachers and librarians are facing increasing amounts of censorship and silencing.

These ethical guidelines on AI and data usage in teaching and learning are designed to help educators understand the potential that the applications of AI and data usage can have in education and to raise awareness of the possible risks so that they are able to engage positively, critically and ethically with AI systems and exploit their full potential.

"The AI Act is a proposed European law on artificial intelligence (AI) – the first comprehensive law on AI by a major regulator anywhere. The law assigns applications of AI to three risk categories. First, applications and systems that create an unacceptable risk, such as government-run social scoring of the type used in China, are banned. Second, high-risk applications, such as a CV-scanning tool that ranks job applicants, are subject to specific legal requirements. Lastly, applications not explicitly banned or listed as high-risk are largely left unregulated."
