The video offered many great suggestions on how educators can help mitigate the risks for students surrounding data privacy and misinformation. The presenters initially suggested seeking local guidance where educators can ask administrators for info. on AI tools. Their next steps would involve: learning more about state and local laws, scanning privacy policies to see if it includes items surrounding school use, FERPA & COPPA, checking for age restrictions and examining the type of data that is collected. By ensuring that AI tools have many educational guardrails, we can help promote safe student interaction and responsible use of data. Some of these guardrails include limiting the # of messages students can receive each day, making chat history visible to parents &/or teachers and monitoring messages. Privacy settings can be adjusted to disable tracking and data storage. We can also empower students by giving them a choice if they would like to engage with this software &/or AI tools or not.
I definitely agree that there is much work and monitoring that needs to be done when incorporating AI in our classrooms. Students should continue to be skeptical of the information that is being provided to them. Educators will need to continue to emphasize digital literacy skills and encourage students to use a variety of sources to complete assignments. We should continue to be creative with our assignments that encourage original and personal thought.
The portion of the video that surprised me was on how AI struggled to cite sources and the ongoing errors and problems with Algorithmic Bias. With teaching Criminal Justice at the HS, I was so intrigued by the discussion of how facial recognition could lead to wrongly identifying suspects and often leads to racial biases. This is definitely a topic of growing concern that will need to be discussed in the future.
