Indiana School District Offers Artificial Intelligence Education at All Grade Levels
A school network teaching the responsible use of powerful artificial intelligence tools empowers students to highlight their own ideas and voices.
The Career Academy Network of Public Schools in the South Bend area of Indiana, United States, is teaching students at all levels from elementary to high school the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence Education Begins
The Career Academy Network of Public Schools is teaching artificial intelligence to students at all levels from elementary to high school, addressing both the positive and negative aspects of the technology as well as ethical questions.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Pathway
Sophomore Hudson Turner states that he wants to learn the ways artificial intelligence can be used to help society. This class forms part of the network's new artificial intelligence and machine learning pathway.
Instructor Spencer Noah demonstrates how artificial intelligence is integrated into the business world and continuously updates his curriculum due to rapid advancements in technology.
Ethics Task Force and Guidelines
The school network has embraced the use of artificial intelligence for teachers, administrators, and students. Jeremy Lugbill, the CEO of the network, stated that the district is using the technology to achieve better results rather than ignoring it.
An artificial intelligence task force created last year developed ethical and responsible use guidelines and policies across different grade levels.
Graduated Educational Guidelines
David Ebersol, Director of Career and Technical Education, prepared different guidelines ranging from kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grade, and sixth through twelfth grade.
While emphasizing that artificial intelligence does not replace students' ideas, the use of these tools is likened to calculators.
