Ethical concerns related to GenAI include such considerations as the implications for privacy when these tools are used, the possibility of over-reliance on GenAI for analytics and decision making, and exposure to inaccurate or biased information (Brown &amp; Klein, 2020; Masters, 2023; Memarian &amp; Doleck, 2023). The following activities and assignments equip students with the capacity to critically evaluate when and how it is appropriate to use GenAI tools and to protect themselves against possible risks of AI use.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Sherri Hope Culver<\/strong>, Media Studies and Production faculty member and Director of the Center for Media and Information Literacy (CMIL) at Temple University, asks students in her GenEd course, Media in a Hyper-Mediated World, to complete a reflection on the implications of AI use. She first asks them to listen to an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/03\/15\/podcasts\/tiktok-princess-photoshop.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">episode of the podcast Hard Fork<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> centered on data privacy and image manipulation and to read the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Wired <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">article \u201cThe Call to Halt \u2018Dangerous\u2019 AI Research Ignores a Simple Truth\u201d (Luccione, 2023). Students are then instructed to write a 300-word reflection referencing the assigned material that addresses both concerns they have about use of AI and ways in which it could make their lives or society better. Professor Culver provides the following prompts to help students\u2019 thinking:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What does critical thinking mean in a tech-centric, AI world?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might AI affect your free will?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might AI affect your concerns about privacy or surveillance?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How should we prepare ourselves for an increasingly AI world?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might AI influence the notion of a public good?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might AI influence K-12 education?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How might AI influence family life?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What worries you about AI?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What excites you about AI?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What is our responsibility as media creators when we use AI?\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It has been said that AI will make life more <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/transcripts\/1127249176\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cfast, free and frictionless.\u201d<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Should everything first be &#8220;fast, free and frictionless&#8221;?

Students are asked to read <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/12\/21\/technology\/personaltech\/how-to-use-chatgpt-ethically.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;How to Use ChatGPT and Still Be a Good Person&#8221;<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and watch a related video exploring the meaning of integrity. Students then discuss whether or not AI can be used with integrity, how academic culture might frame one\u2019s decision to use AI, and the \u201cpeaks and pitfalls\u201d of AI use. Beyond the many important conversations focused on AI itself, the technology is used as a reference point as to what it means to lead with integrity and how to promote said quality in teams and organizations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In another interactive, thought-based classroom initiative, mechanical engineer <strong>Dr. Philip Dames<\/strong> is bringing ethics and AI to Temple\u2019s College of Engineering. Having reimagined for a modern era the \u201c<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Trolley_problem\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">trolley problem<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d philosophical exercise in which one is faced with an ethical dilemma, students in Dr. Dames\u2019 class consider having AI make decisions using autonomous cars as the basis for deliberation. They are prompted to think about how a vehicle should be programmed to respond to different scenarios by using examples from MIT Media Lab\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.moralmachine.net\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moral Machine website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Students then reflect upon their scenario-based activities and experiences and engage in prompt-guided written reflection. Prompts include questions such as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">How does the ownership model of autonomous vehicles affect how they should behave? For example, does it make a difference if a vehicle is owned by a single private citizen vs. publicly owned by the city and hired by individuals?\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">What surprised you about the aggregated responses from different people shown to you at the end of the exercise?\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are there other factors that you feel are important but were not considered in Moral Machine?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this way, students not only explore elements to consider when designing autonomous vehicles, but make concrete what was once only abstract via critical thinking and hands-on engagement.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you&#8217;d like more guidance on exploring how to use AI tools in your class, please visit our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teaching.temple.edu\/teaching-technologies\/faculty-guide-ai\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Faculty Guide to A.I.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and\/or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/catbooking.temple.edu\/appointments\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">book an appointment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for a one-on-one consultation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Brown, M., &amp; Klein, C.
