ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE (AI)
AND EDUCATION
TINA COFFEY
WHAT IS AI?
• AI, short for Artificial Intelligence, is all about
creating smart computers or machines that can
do things that normally require human
intelligence. It's like teaching computers to
think and learn on their own.
• There are two main types of AI: Narrow AI and
General AI. Narrow AI is designed to do specific
tasks really well, like recognizing faces or
playing chess. General AI, on the other hand, is
more like a super-smart computer that can
think and learn in different situations, just like
humans.

Hey there!
If you haven't had your laptop with you at school in the past week, I wanted to give you
a friendly heads-up and recommend bringing it tomorrow. It's a great idea to While it is
at school, please restart it and keep it open throughout the day so that it can receive
important updates. Plus, By doing so, you'll ensure that you can still log in to it over the
summer without any issues.
Just a little reminder: Laptops that haven't been connected to our network for a
couple of months may stop working, and you'll need the assistance of a technician to
fix them. So, it's definitely worth keeping your laptop connected and up to date.
Thanks so much, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

CONSIDERATIONS
• AI can “hallucinate” or generate false content that seems very
convincing. You must check all content.
• Built-in bias based on what’s on the internet
• Copyright
• Video/Audio: Deepfakes. Should you trust what you see/hear?
• Academic Dishonesty? What does that mean now? Can we
detect if students use AI? Should we allow them to?
