How can ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) developments be embraced as part of Curriculum Design?
Workshop 1 | Melanie Hughes | Friday 2 August, 1:15pm | Wickam Room
Abstract
When considering the place of artificial intelligence (AI) in curriculum design it is useful to examine its application as a context-specific digital tool and its place in the Australian Curriculum in terms of knowledge, understanding and skills — how AI tools work, and the risks and benefits of using them.
Explore these ideas through the Australian Framework for Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Schools and the 3 dimensions of the Australian Curriculum, which provide opportunities for young Australians to gain essential and underpinning knowledge of what AI is, how it works, and how to be responsible and ethical designers and users of AI systems.
