Course Description

How can I stop my students using AI for assessments?

Does AI tell the truth?

This course will provide a comprehensive discussion of the major ethical concerns with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and practical strategies for having conversations with students and colleagues.

Five main areas of AI ethical concern are covered: 

1. Bias
2. Environment
3. Truth and Academic Integrity
4. Copyright and Privacy

This course includes case studies that illuminate the real risks and concerns of AI, without focusing on the "end of the world" hype that currently dominates the media discourse.

Participants will leave with activities and strategies for holding meaningful discussions with students about the ethics of these technologies.
