We can think of intentional misuse as an “ethical hacking” approach where students misuse AI in order to expose shortcomings and threats. Image: Midjourney “misuse –no person”
Discipline: Multidisciplinary
Adaptable, Equal Access
Adaptable, universal access is an essential aspect of modern education, and AI can help bridge the gap between different learning abilities and backgrounds.
Test Prep
By using natural language processing technology, AI tools can analyze student data and provide targeted practice exercises to help students improve their test-taking skills. Image source: Midjourney “test prep –no person”
Critical AI literacy and critical assessment
Students engage in a number of activities to think about what ChatGPT misses and what they can learn about language models when contrasting AI output to human-created work. Image: Midjourney “Critical Literacy”
Using QuickDraw & Autodraw to explain AI concepts easily
Use QuickDraw and Autodraw to help students understand how AI learns (QuickDraw), has biases (see Maha Bali’ blogpost on the topic) and can then be used after trained to do something else (Autodraw). Imagine: Midjourney “Abstraction of Quick Draw”
Challenging AI’s informational influence
Explore AI’s profound informational, contextual, and emotional influence by analyzing responses to prompts to generate “emotion images.” Image: Midjourney “influence –no person”
AI and authorship, citation practices
Have a conversation with students about whether AI tools can be considered “authors,” and the role of citation in scholarly work. Image: Midjourney “authorship –no person”
ChatGPT: Wolf in sheep’s clothing conversation starter
101 creative ideas to use AI in Education: A crowdsourced collection. Use the meme (see PDF below) to start a conversation about unethical practices in ChatGPT’s process of creating an ethical AI (exploitation of Kenyan workers). Image: Midjourney “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing”
It’s about the journey, not the destination
Assess the prompts that the students use and the process by which they refine them and then critique and reference the outputs of generative AI rather than the final product. Image: Midjourney “Journey –no people”
Using AI to develop variety in scenario-based assessments
Academics can generative AI technology to help create authentic, meaningful, and scenario-based assessments. Image: Midjourney “Scenarios –no people”
