Informative video about how AI works; can be used by teachers in the classroom to teach older elementary school children and high schoolers.
10-minute educational video introducing artificial intelligence, machine learning and large language models such as ChatGPT, with a focus on their benefits, limitations, hallucinations, risks and responsible use.
Why it matters for ENACT-AI
The resource directly supports AI literacy by introducing learners to artificial intelligence, machine learning and large language models such as ChatGPT. It goes beyond basic definitions by addressing how AI systems work, their limitations, hallucinations, the tendency of users to overtrust human-like AI responses, and the importance of maintaining critical judgement when using AI. It also encourages learners to remain actively involved in thinking and learning rather than relying uncritically on AI-generated outputs.
Learning outcomes
Understand basic concepts of AI, machine learning and large language models, recognize limitations and hallucinations of AI systems, develop a critical perspective on AI-generated responses, understand risks of overreliance on AI, and reflect on responsible use of AI for learning and everyday tasks.
Suggested activity
Watch the video or its three shorter sections, ask learners to identify three opportunities and three risks of AI, then give them examples of AI-generated answers and discuss why these answers should be checked rather than automatically trusted.
