Try these first

1. 1.

   Define generative AI.

   Hint

   Think about how AI can create something new based on data.

2. 2.

   What is algorithmic bias?

   Hint

   Consider how biased data can impact the outcomes of AI systems.

3. 3.

   What does generative AI do?

   • Creates new designs
   • Analyzes data
   • Saves existing designs

   Hint

   Consider what generative means.

4. 4.

   Algorithmic bias can lead to unfair outcomes.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about examples where algorithms favored some groups over others.

5. 5.

   Given an example of how generative AI could introduce biases in a city planning project. Propose steps to identify and mitigate these biases.

   Hint

   Consider what data might be excluded in urban planning.

6. 6.

   Design a framework addressing the ethical implications of using generative AI in civil engineering. What key components would you include?

   Hint

   Think about what stakeholders might have insights into ethical design.
