Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming an everyday part of our lives. Many of us use it without even realising, whether it be writing emails, finding a new TV show or managing smart devices in our homes. It is also increasingly used in many professional contexts – from helping with recruitment to supporting health diagnoses and monitoring students’ progress in school.
But apart from a handful of computing-focused and other STEM programs, most Australian university students do not receive formal tuition in how to use AI critically, ethically or responsibly. Dr Caitlin Curtis from the Centre for Policy Futures joins Associate Professor Rachel Fitzgerald from BEL to share why this is a problem and what we can do instead.
