Pi Foundation releases AI teaching guidance
Worry no more about how to teach about ethical generative AI – the Pi Foundation has you covered.
For good or for worse, generative AI is here to stay. To help both students and educators navigate this tricky new area, the Pi Foundation, in conjunction with experts in the field, has produced guides on how best to understand the issues around AI, how to make use of AI in educational settings and how best to teach the subject.
A key aspect of the guide is educating students (specifically six lessons for 11 to 14-year olds) on the limitations of generative AI tools and exploring how they work through the use of ChatGPT and Google Gemini. The guide outlines the basic workings but also the pitfalls of using AI and will have students experiment with AI output and checking it for errors. Research continues on the best ways to teach about AI, alongside guides on how to implement a school-wide policy in place for the use of generative AI.
