What’s next?

This is the first in a 4-lesson sequence introducing middle and high school students to the power, potential and risks of generative AI with a focus on ChatGPT.

Upcoming lessons explore how large language models are trained and generate answers, the risks of AI hallucination and bias, and co-create a student AI policy.
