This week’s class we discussed generative ai: how to incorporate it into classrooms and use it efficiently.  

Ai is a great tool and can be used in many ways in school settings. However, there are some limitations when using it. Generative AI can have many biases such as race, gender and geographical. This can make it difficult for students when using it. It also can give you the wrong answers or make things up. To avoid having these issues we should teach students to check AI facts and understand the biases. For example, when researching the Vietnam war AI has a bias towards the United States over other countries. Asking more direct questions could help avoid these issues.  

I have found Generative Ai to be extremely useful in other ways for school. Students can use it to help them narrow down big topics to generate ideas. As well as using AI to check their final copy of their writing. In addition, students can use AI to make study guides for their classes to save time and have more time to spend on learning the material.

Overall, AI has disadvantages but knowing how to use it can help make it more of a beneficial tool!
