AI Fiction –“Healthy skepticism is a great practice” was the big sentence from the video for me. You encounter a lot of things while reading and viewing content. If we see things we already know, and they are true, we might believe everything we encounter is true, almost thinking “I verified the first three things I have read…I’m good with this tool” but a language model can make mistakes, AND it will not know that it has made them.

AI Bias –“If a facial recognition program is trained predominately on images from one ethnic group it may perform poorly on another group” so it learns from our bias or the errors we make by feeding it information to model after. This is problematic to say the least. That is why working collaboratively is important. A second or third set of eyes, and having that healthy skepticism, the “does that sound right?” or “let me check on another search engine.” 

As far as privacy, as a kid that is not at the front of your mind if nothing has ever happened where you yourself have been compromised. FERPA and COPPA are there for us to be aware of and get parental consent for anything not school approved and we need to remind students of potential dangers.
