Overview: Youth are increasingly gaining regular exposure to generative AI in new AI-driven tools. One popular tool is ChatGPT. While new horizons in AI are exciting, text-based generative AI has limitations, such as producing (harmful) bias and misinformation. This workshop series supports youth in realizing generative AI's limitations through short interactive slides, questions that prompt discussion around when generative AI is (not) appropriate to use, and a guessing game about when ChatGPT outputs are correct or incorrect — the answers may surprise you!
Audience: Middle school-aged youth
Notes:
This lightweight lesson and activities in the slide deck below do not require active use of generative AI, so they are fitting for those who may be more cautious to use AI live with youth or do not have the computing resources to do so.
Due to the rapidly changing nature of generative AI, some slides may require being updated with information from the most recent version.
