Synopsis

Students discuss the pros and cons of using generative artificial intelligence as a learning aid, taking into account the hazards they learned about previously in this unit, including hallucination, bias, and environmental impact. Students analyze acceptable use policies from different schools to discern how effectively the policies address the hazards, as well as the potential for generative AI to help or hinder learning. As a class, students create an acceptable use policy for generative AI.

Inquire: Students discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using generative artificial intelligence in the classroom. 
Investigate: Students read and analyze the acceptable use policies for generative artificial intelligence from different schools. 
Inspire: Students create examples of acceptable and unacceptable use of generative artificial intelligence for their school.
