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

  • Integrating dedicated modules on AI ethics within the curriculum enables critical discussions on the societal impact of AI.
  • Hands-on projects that require students to develop and use AI applications while considering ethical implications foster a practical understanding of how to properly use AI.
  • Encouraging debates between the students, and inviting guest speakers, including industry experts. This can broaden perspectives and provide real-world insights.
  • Trying a cross-curricular approach combining AI ethics with different school subjects and understanding the nature of ethical decision-making.
  • Continuous learning opportunities, community involvement, and leadership can further empower students to navigate AI’s complexities responsibly.
  • Be upfront with students on the use of AI in the classroom and what is allowed and not allowed within that class dynamic.
  • Try projects where they have to show their information rather than write their information in a document. This will hopefully encourage critical thinking and hopefully discourage plagiarism.
