This week we had a guest speaker, Cari Wilson. She is the Vice Principal of Technology and Innovation, she started us off by having us think about a wish, a wonder, and a worry when it comes to artificial intelligence, I thought that this was a great way to start off the class and kind of told us that we would be talking about AI. It also made me think about what I thought about AI with the prompts that she gave us. She mentioned that some days she believes that AI may be able to solve major climate issues and lead us to an amazing utopian future, while other days she is terrified that we will be in a dystopian future. She added on to this to say that education will make a difference. She explained how AI works reactive systems such as Roomba’s, Netflix, generative tools like CHATGPT, Google Gemini, etc. Cari explained three types of AI (artificial narrow intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and artificial super intelligence) and how fast these tools are growing. She told us how it took Netflix three years to reach 1 million users and how it took ChatGPT 5 days to reach one million users. This comparison honestly blew my mind and still does. It is crazy to me that Netflix a staple in almost every household took three years to reach one million users and ChatGPT only took five days. A big part of our conversation was things that we as teachers need to worry about such as privacy, ethics, equity, bias, deep fakes, environmental, and human’s costs. The biggest worry for me was to never put student information into tools like ChatGPT. To me this honestly seems like common sense but the more I think about it to some it may not be and that is honestly really scary. Another part of our conversation was should teachers admit when they use AI to create lessons or report card comments and if a student uses AI to brain story or edit an essay is it still considered their work? This really make me think about what I believe the right thing to do and I quite honesty do not know. Overall, this class really made me reflect on the responsibility’s I have as a future teacher when it comes to AI. AI is something that is not going to go away ever it is something that is rapidly growing and advancing so instead of just ignoring it we need to learn how to use it as a tool, understand it, and teach our student how to use it responsibly so they do not abuse it.
