Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial Intelligence (AI) can enhance the way you teach and work

AI can be a powerful tool when used right. But it also has a range of limitations - it can produce work which is incorrect, biased, opaque, or simply nonsense. It is up to school administrators and teachers to ensure that these tools are used for the right purpose. The introduction of AI poses several risks if managed poorly or misued.

 

1. Introduction

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools create content based on a prompt that can include text, PDF’s, images and videos. Generated content commonly includes images, code, text, and video. Generative AI is a powerful tool but has a range of limitations.

ChatGPT acknowledges its platform: 

  • may occasionally generate incorrect information
  • may occasionally produce harmful instructions or biased content
  • has limited knowledge of the world and events after 2021 (ChatGPT, OpenAI, 2023). 

Explore Generative AI

An important step in supporting students to understand the ethical and effective use of Generative AI is to explore these tools yourself. You can follow these guides to create an account and try some prompts. It may take a few attempts to find prompts that generate responses that are useful to you.
