Post Grad Pt 2: Wk 7 - Debating AI

When Should or Shouldn't We Use AI ?

Whakataukī

Tino rangatiratanga: mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei
The ability to create and control our destiny for generations to come.

Insights



How do we use AI, and what do we use?

Teachable Machine - Google has built a model we can use to teach it to recognise images, objects, sound, and then sort. The important thing is to have clean data (no background, people or objects).


What I noticed was that when identifying a cup, it was 100% happy for any cup to be in front of the camera. But with other smaller objects, it struggled to identify them; this could be because of the busy background. Once, it thought a book was a cup; this is possibly because of the screen area the book covered.

AI Capabilities




What do we consider when creating a debate for the class?
  • Relevant to akonga (students), interesting, engaging
  • 2 sides Proc/Cons
  • Allows for different points of view
  • Age appropriate
  • Not too divisive (contentious)
  • Know the topic or easy to research


Kialo Edu Debate

We were given a side, like in a real debate (no picking), then we added our thoughts to arguments for or against a statement (slices on the outer circle) or gave it a value. The darker the colour, the more people valued the idea made in the inner circle. 

Takeaways

Guidelines for AI created collaboratively for AcademyEx; great model they thought guidelines rather than policy, as people need to be responsible for actions. Turnitin; creates space for discussions around use of AI in essays, not there to judge.

Which of the guidelines are most useful in helping understand 'AcademyEx AI guidelines': 10, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.

Reflection

Kialo Edu would be great when needing to decide what to do when you need everyone's input, e.g., a staff meeting about which maths resources should be implemented - empowering all voices
