What strategies can we employ as educators to teach the ethical and productive use of AI?

Educators can recruit various strategies to instill a sense of ethical responsibility and productive engagement with AI among students. Integrating discussions about AI ethics into lessons and exploring real-world case studies can prompt critical thinking about the societal impacts and ethical dilemmas associated with AI technologies. Hands-on experiences through interactive workshops and projects, guided by an understanding of bias in AI algorithms, can deepen students’ comprehension of responsible AI development. Inviting guest speakers and industry experts to share insights offers real-world perspectives, while collaborative classroom discussions create an environment where diverse opinions on AI ethics are valued. Utilizing online resources tools, and staying updated on AI developments enable educators to provide accurate and current information, empowering students to think critically and make informed decisions in the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.

Using AI to generate an answer to this question felt a bit creepy because it is aware of its own ethical limitations, which strangely surprised me. To my fellow future educators, how do you feel about our students ethically using AI to complete their work?
