AI + Ethics

Superhuman Superpower

I believe that artificial intelligence is a superhuman power that K-12 students ought to learn how to manage and use ethically. There is a fundamental need to adopt a framework for AI in education. Believe it or not we are all cyborgs, the reason being is because we use technology from the palm of our hands everyday to enhance our normal state of being. Our mobile devices are rarely out of reach and have become a crutial vein of our existence. It’s ubiquitaus. Digital technology is needed to close educational equity gaps. Let’s reimagine education and empower all students with skills needed to succeed in school and life.

In the article, How teachers make ethical judgments when using AI in the classroom it reads, “Rather than banning generative AI from the classroom, we should rethink the educational process and consider how generative AI might be used to improve education, much like we did years ago for mathematics education when cheap calculators became available,” This example shines light on the fact that education is currently experiencing a shift in the way subjects are taught and how students learn. Many strong use cases can support the adoption of AI. So students can build skills for life and work.

“For example, by asking students to look at texts produced by generative AI and consider whether the facts are right and the arguments make sense, we could help improve their critical thinking skills.”

Take on the state of k12 education?

When it comes to student writing, my AI aided resolution would look similar to students actually engaging, learning, and sparking their creativity. I believe teachers should allow students to use AI to generate groundwork and then allow us to build a framework to improve the AI suggestion. Draft one is AI generated, and iteration two would be edited and improved.

There is a current struggle between past learning strategies and new era learning plans, as the current school infrastructures are not evolving fast enough to keep up with current times. With that said, AI has potential to become the teacher and eventually restructure our entire learning environnment. The million dollar question is, how can we take a step in the correct direction and move towards embracing change.

It’s time to restructure the function of traditional edu and allow ethical edtech to enter K-12 classrooms. It’s time to shift from the industrial revolution age and step into intelligent revolution. Students should not be kept in the dark and deserve the right to learn how to prepare for our future employability.

What’s Generative AI

GenAI is a new wave computer science technology that makes it possible for humankind to leverage and cut task time by up to 90%. Though the automated output shortcuts offer generic insights, it is not 100% accurate nor authentic to every study subject. GenAI datasets regurgitate generic web data collected from LLMs of stored information, but the evidence must not be accepted as a legitimate source, because some facts can blend with imaginary fallacies to portray realness and spread fake news.

This is where the investigative student can come into play. Allowed to research, improve and fact check data would be an all hands on deck exchange which will train AI algorithms to self correct and strengthen data sets for ongoing improvement down the line.

How will GenAI affect our future?

GenAI has the potential to revolutionize various industries.

According to PwC, “Nearly all business leaders say their company is prioritizing at least one initiative related to AI systems in the near term.”

What to do next

Put students first. The biggest barrier to transformative value may be in getting highly motivated students to engage with GenAI, to reimagine the way they currently learn. Schools can provide incentives for innovation. When students redefine their roles with AI, reward them with new and greater opportunities. Share discoveries and grow from experiences in a schoolwide think tank thought exchange experience. A shared exchange system. It’s not cheating or plagiarizing, it’s research, collaboration and growth opportunities that schools are missing the mark on because districts are stuck in the industrial age.

Think and go big. To realize transformative value from AI, school districts can deploy an AI factory customized to meet the unique needs of students and teachers. It’s time that we reimagine how schools will run when GenAI has made knowledge workers 30% to 40% more productive.

What are the dangers?

In order for us to embrace the power of technology we need systems in place that can precisely differentiate research makers and markers of expanded thought. This way teachers can have an academic blueprint and identify recycled thought and differentiate individual perspectives.

The current state of education is moving in the wrong direction because there is a tug of war between restricting and accepting superhuman Generative AI technologies.

We are in need of equitable and inclusive ways to reimagine education for our current age of intelligence.

Reimagine Education

Digital security is top of mind for K-12 IT teams. Educational institutions must have systems in place to protect student data and block cyber attack threats for safe and effective district wide networks.

In conclusion, here’s why I argue that K-12 schools’ are stuck in the industrial age. https://medium.com/@diana.c10/students-and-ai-the-impending-academic-epidemic-e3088ad863dc
