Course Description:
Emotions are high and knowledge about AI is often uneven in schools. Those are conditions for confusion instead of clarity and they show up in everyday conversations about academic integrity, offloading learning, and environmental impact. This course is built on a simple premise: these conversations are more complicated than they seem. The aim is to get beyond AI “sides,” recognizing that each pole is right, to some degree, some of the time. The challenge is not choosing a side—it’s learning how to navigate the tension.
You will examine common misconceptions and real risks, and clarify what actually needs to be managed, not avoided. From there, the work turns practical: how to have the conversation with the colleague or stakeholder who sees it differently.
Through AI-supported role-play, you will practice those conversations and leave with a concrete next step—a plan or artifact to improve AI dialogue in your context.
