Gifted Education has long championed creative productivity and critical thinking, but what happens when our devices begin to think and create on their own? Rather than shying away from AI, let’s examine how to boldly embrace its power and potential to leverage new possibilities and pathways with this collection of lessons incorporating ethical decision making, collaboration, design, and knowledge construction.
Learning Objectives:
Identify evolution of AI and related technologies and the effects on learning and society
Investigate how gifted students utilize technology to circumvent negative outcomes (e.g. plagiarism, privacy violations, ‘Deepfakes’, loss of creativity, the Singularity, etc.)
Learn to adapt existing lessons to create outcomes that are not (yet) producible by AI by incorporating creativity, critical thinking, and Ascending Intellectual Demands
