• What are the ethical concerns? (e.g., privacy, bias)
Detailed Explanation
This part urges students to reflect on the ethical implications of AI technology. Ethical concerns are crucial as they address potential issues like privacy invasion (how personal data is used) and bias in AI algorithms (which can lead to unfair treatment of certain groups). Students learn that ethical considerations must be addressed to create responsible AI applications that benefit everyone rather than harm marginalized populations.
Examples & Analogies
Think about how social media platforms use algorithms to curate content. If these algorithms are biased, they may limit the diversity of information you see, potentially leading to a distorted perception of reality. This highlights the importance of ethical AI development.
