Generative AI Ethics, Deepfakes & Responsible Use Case Studies

The complete high school curriculum is prepared and provides an interactive exploration of the topic of ethics in generative AI; deepfakes; responsible use of synthetic media; and provides a thorough introduction to how synthetic media works (to be used by all of our student participants in grades 9-12). The curriculum includes an academic overview of Synthetic Media architecture; multiple chapters for deepfake discussion/analysis; Copyright/Author status; algorithmic bias and epistemic security/provability protocols regarding the use of synthetic media. In addition, there are ten practical, complete, and interactive worksheets for active, individual student participation that have real examples, such as "the Synthesized Senator," "Med-Synthetica Diagnostic Bias," "Voice Cloning," "Influencer Avatars," etc.

The students have to complete fill-in-the-blank terminology exercises, scenario analyses, and ethical synthesis prompts that promote critical thinking, media literacy, and digital citizenship skill acquisition. There is also the following in the resource book: (conceptual visual diagrams [mind maps, escalation matrices, process flows], a comprehensive answer key with notes for teachers and benchmarks for mastery) and a detailed teacher guide with pedagogical strategies, assessment tools (rubrics) and teaching protocols.

This curriculum is also perfect for English/Language Arts, Social Studies, Computer Science, Digital Literacy, or elective Technology & Ethics classes. This resource is an instant digital download and requires no prep time. Give your students the information they need to be responsible in their use of AI and the topics related to ethics regarding the generative technology called "deepfake."

Parents/Schools Appreciate It Because:

Essential 21st century skills are being taught through critical thinking, verifying media sources & making ethical choices in dealing with misinformation & threats from deep-fakes and counterfeit media, thereby counteracting those very problems.

Students remain engaged while staying motivated to learn by using real-world examples of ethical & responsible use of technology through use of case studies/workheets.

The format requires zero preparation & can be easily implemented by teachers; includes lesson plans, case studies, worksheets, visuals, answer keys, teacher’s implementation guide (in pdf format).

Responsible use of artificial intelligence & digital stewardship is promoted through use of technology in an aligned manner with modern school standards regarding digital citizenship/social-emotional learning.

Materials are flexible in nature so can be used across multiple curriculum areas & for hybrid & remote learning situations.
