AI Literacy
AI Literacy refers to understanding how AI works. This includes being aware of its uses and limitations as well as the ethical concerns revolving around this new technology. While courts are still ligitating the extent to which generative AI has broken copyright laws, there are other areas of AI Literacy where the guidance is much more clear. In regard to AI usage in school, the following areas of AI usage are of utmost importance:
- Accuracy
- Academic Integrity
- Safety
-
AI Accuracy
Checking the Accuracy of AI generated information includes checking for hallucinations and bias EVERY time it is used.
-
AI Academic Integrity
AI is a powerful tool, but it should never be used to replace human thought and experiences.
-
AI Safety
Anything typed into AI automatically becomes a part of its training data, so maintaining data privacy is paramount when interacting with AI.
AI Prompting
The CRAFT Framework
In order to help get the best possible results from AI, try using the CRAFT framework, developed by Vera Cubero and Katie Bogle at NC DPI.
- C – Context: Include in your prompt details specifying exactly what information, where that information should come from, and any other content you want AI to include.
- R – Role: Directly tell AI the specific role you want it to perform, anything from a debate partner that should be arguing against you to a teacher tutoring you on a difficult concept.
- A – Audience: Tell AI who the information is going to be for, so the information is not too easy or too difficult for the targeted audience.
- F – Format: Describe what the final output should be, such as a picture in a given style (graphic art, photography, etc.) or written response (paragraph, poem, song, etc.). Don’t forget to include how long you want any written responses to be.
- T – Task/Tone: Be clear with what task you want AI to perform (provide feedback, brainstorm, etc.), and whether or not it should use a formal or informal tone.
Suggested CRAFTed prompt format:
You are a (role). Create a (specific item to generate) that is about (topic). This will be for (audience). Please include (details about the topic). Use a (adjective) tone.
Example: You are the 17-year-old Romeo Montague from Romeo and Juliet. Create a dating profile that focuses on how obsessed with love and being in love Romeo is. This will be for a modern audience of teenagers. Please include that he is a lover, not a fighter, he thinks love makes a woman shine brighter than the sun, he likes meeting new people at parties, and he gives his heart 100% to the person he loves. Use a casual tone by including modern slang used by gen Z and gen Alpha.
