What strategies can we employ as educators to teach the ethical and productive use of AI?

I think a good strategy is to do what has been done in this class and by that I mean explaining how AI works, how it can be unreliable, and the politics or lack there of surrounding it. Ethic and Productivity can be combined as it gives the student the ability to decide for themselves if what is being generated is ethical and how to critically think about that. It’s interesting to think of AI as a means to develop critical thinking because it seems a theme in criticism amognst many is that reliance on AI will prevent us from thinking for ourselves. I disagree.

here is what Chat.openAI had to say:

1. Integrated Curriculum:
   • Develop or incorporate modules that explicitly address the ethical considerations of AI within the curriculum. Cover topics such as bias, transparency, accountability, and societal impact. Integrate case studies and real-world examples to illustrate both positive and negative aspects.

1. Hands-On Projects with Ethical Considerations:
   • Assign practical projects that involve designing, developing, or evaluating AI systems. This hands-on experience not only deepens technical understanding but also allows students to grapple with the ethical implications of their work.

1. Promote Critical Thinking and Collaboration:
   • Foster a culture of critical thinking by encouraging students to question and discuss the ethical implications of AI. Emphasize collaborative projects, where students work together to consider ethical considerations, promoting a holistic understanding of AI’s impact on society.
