AI-IL Session Support: AI Activities and Creative Projects

How can AI can elevate student academics?

Here are ten discussion questions for college students focused on AI, ethics, and the future:

1. What ethical considerations should guide the development and use of artificial intelligence in industries like healthcare, education, and law enforcement? Or in any industry, are there any industries that you believe will not be impacted?

2. Do you believe AI has the potential to replace human workers in certain fields? What impact would this have on the job market, and how should society respond?

3. Can AI ever truly be "ethical"? How do we define ethics in the context of machines that operate based on algorithms and data?

4. As AI becomes more integrated into our daily lives, what steps should be taken to ensure that it is used for the benefit of all people, rather than a select few?

5. What role should governments play in regulating AI, especially in areas like privacy, surveillance, and data collection?

6. How might the widespread use of AI impact personal freedoms and privacy in the future? Can AI be developed in a way that respects individual rights?

7. What do you think are the most significant risks of AI becoming too advanced, and how can we mitigate these risks while still advancing technology?

8. In what ways can AI contribute to solving global issues, such as climate change, poverty, or inequality? What ethical concerns might arise in using AI for these causes?

9. As AI systems become more autonomous, how do we ensure accountability when something goes wrong? Should the developers, the AI itself, or society as a whole bear responsibility?

10. Looking 20 years into the future, what do you envision for the relationship between humans and AI? How might it shape education, work, and personal relationships?
