Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed our world. This powerful tool has revolutionised the way we work, play and communicate with others.
It would be easy to use it for our homework, but is it the right thing to do?
How we use AI determines if it helps or harms our learning. When used properly, AI can explain complex ideas, provide inspiration for our work and summarise our research.
However, if it is used inappropriately, AI can replace learning instead of improving it. If you use it as a short cut, you skip the challenge of learning new things. That could destroy the important process of understanding. You might also end up plagiarising someone else’s hard work.
Ask your teachers and parents before you use AI for your homework. Responsible use of AI requires you to reflect and have integrity.
Integrity is about being honest and doing what is right, even if it is hard. Are you using the technology to help you understand or to take a short cut?
If you have integrity and use AI only for help, this powerful tool can improve, not set back, your knowledge and skills.
Am I a person with integrity?
Read each of the scenarios below. Then, consider how you can respond with integrity, and write it down.
-
You are working on a group project. One person has submitted a really well-written paragraph. But some of the numbers and facts do not look quite right. You suspect they used AI.
-
You waited until the last minute to work on a writing assignment, and you do not know what to write. Your friend suggests using AI and then changing a few sentences to make it look like your own work.
-
You are confused by a new maths concept you learned in school, and you’re not sure how to start your assignment. Your parents are not free to help you. How could you use AI to help you learn with integrity?
