3096.1, CODE, Artificial Intelligence in Schools: Allow or Prohibit? Ethical Considerations for Educators

This was copied directly from edWeb and pasted:  "With the arrival of ChatGPT on our students’ laptops and in our classrooms, educators are grappling with the ever-increasing use of artificial intelligence in schools. Whether writing an essay or lab report, conducting research, working through a math problem, or building a presentation, students now have access to learning aids that challenge the very definitions of “learning,” “original work,” and “plagiarism.” What boundaries do we set? Does “zero tolerance” toward AI’s use by students make sense if we are preparing them for the future world that they will live in?

Learning is not the only place where AI is found in school settings. How are we, the adults, modeling the usage of AI to our students? Facial recognition software and monitoring systems that track student internet usage are just two examples of interventions done in the name of “school safety.” There are three clear learning objectives in this edWebinar:

• A technology specialist helps you to understand the use, purpose, and indications for artificial intelligence tools in education
• An ethicist enables you to delineate the ethical considerations and implications for the use of AI.
• A head of school explains how an ethical decision-making process can enable you to develop an actual school policy.

This session helps build your awareness of the ethical issues raised by AI use in schools and empowers you to ask questions in order to make well-informed and ethical policies for the adults and students in your school communities."
