2.6 Summary

Summary

The field of AI is complex and presents many ethical considerations that need to be considered when using AI.

These ethical considerations include privacy, intellectual property and copyright, the environment impact, the tendency of AI models to replicate existing social inequities and perpetuate bias, and the ability for AI to be used to spread misinformation.

Instructors should be aware of these ethical considerations and make sure that students are also aware of them if they choose to adopt AI tools in their courses.

The most important thing to remember is that Generative AI tools and use are emergent and constantly and quickly evolving. This means that it will be necessary to keep informed about the changing landscape as our own practices and approaches to teaching similarly evolve.
