AI (Actual Intelligence) Before AI

AI (Actual Intelligence) Before AI

On Mondays I share a different ed tech quote on our Thompson Classroom social media pages for our staff to consider. 

Build your AI (actual intelligence) before you rely on AI (artificial intelligence) - Krissy Venosdal

During the third session of #ETMOOC2 – AI and You, Krissy Venosdal shared the above quote. Well actually, she shared an aesthetically pleasing version that was created using AI-assisted graphic design (see embedded Tweet below).

I think this message is so important. Like anything we see online, work generated by artifical intelligence still requires the user to think critically about what they see and evaluate it against a set of criteria to determine authenticity and suitability.

It can be assumed that AI allows users to simply plug in a prompt and “steal” the output and, yes, while this does happen it is far from best practice. AI-generated content should be introduced as an assistant, a starting platform, a template model, something that should be reviewed critically and modified based on your actual intelligence.

I recently watched a webinar from the “Ditch That Textbook” series which spoke to bias in AI and how to start the conversation on AI-critique with students.

I'd love to hear your thoughts; please leave a comment!
