Machine bots are generated by a series of algorithms to communicate over the internet at produce something. What is produced or what the “bot” (basically internet robot) is tasked with varies in use. They can be used to gather data, mimic human activity/thinking, complete repetive tasks, complete academic funtions, or even act maliciously to harm something in some way. Unintended bias can be applied to bot functions by the individual creating the bot or what they call doing the “training”. This is also referred to as training data. If the training data includes prompts with some bias, it will be reflected in the responses and tasks the AI generates.
I loved the video presentation of Khanmigo. The tools it presented and had readily available, I thought, looked very interesting and applicable for the classroom. They appear to help in creation of assignments, activities, and assessment tools which in turn, is a huge time saver for educators looking to differentiate. I loved the “refresh my knowledge” and the “co-create a rubric” especially. The “refresh my knowledge” seemed so cool and appropriate for filling gaps in areas when students need re-teaching and for extension activities to enrich learning for those ahead. It is difficult to personally create activities for students in one room at four different paces and this alleviates the time constraints of making such materials. I could see this as very valuable in AIS courses, for students who are making up time from a long absence or even those on home instruction. For enrichment and extension activity this would be great as well for those who are always way ahead in my classes. The “co-create a rubric” I liked as well. I love using rubrics for grading. They make the process of grading easy, give clear expectations to students, and provide them with meaningful feedback. This Khanmigo rubric tool offers a way to create these quickly and most importantly, with the collaborative input of other educators.
