Let’s Interrogate AI!

Activity Directions:

  • Select 1 Topic: Bias, misinformation, human labor exploitation, environmental impact, data privacy, intellectual property rights, hallucinations, misinformation.
  • Spend a few minutes reviewing resources and researching the topic you selected (see the AI & Ethics slide deck).
  • Then, interrogate a GenAI tool with at least 1 starting question and 9 follow up questions about that topic (e.g., "ChatGPT, does your design violate intellectual property rights?").
    • Example 1 & Example 2
  • Critically evaluate the output from the GenAI tool.
  • Be prepared to share your findings and thoughts about this activity.

Design Time!

Design a meme, Tuxpi motivational poster, or other type of image that you might use in your class slides to provoke students’ deeper thinking about AI (is AI really intelligent? Should AI be trusted? What is the environmental/societal/human impact of using AI? )

Be prepared to share your work!
