Description of Program
Our project is developed out of the CAS AI Vanguard Fellowship Program. We utilized research on AI in education to develop a High-Impact Learning Activity designed to help students meet the following objectives: 1) Understand and apply best practices for AI use, 2) Develop skills for visual communication, and 3) Translate their learning and skills for a public audience/s.
Abstract
Our project is developed out of the CAS AI Vanguard Fellowship Program. We utilized research on AI in education to develop a High-Impact Learning Activity that meets the following goals: 1) develop skills using AI technologies, 2) identify key data points of research, 3) evaluate AI results and ethical search practices, and 4) create compelling visual public communication based on ethical use of AI. Over multiple sessions, students gather and evaluate data on designated demographic groups, and utilize AI illustration tools to create infographics designed to sell a demographic group on a product, service, or action. Ultimately, students are asked to familiarize themselves with the constraints and benefits of AI tools, including ethical issues of transparency, oversight, privacy, bias and diversity. By the end of the unit, students should have a completed infographic that utilizes reputable data to convey communication research to a general public and be able to speak effectively about their skills using AI tools in future interviews.
