AI in the classroom: Plot Google's Quick, Draw! on the fear matrix

When tech enthusiasts or social media influencers talk about AI, they often focus on its ‘cool’, fun and useful applications. They’re often talking about impressive new technologies or the latest, super-fast neural network algorithm. But when you listen to some other people, they often describe AI as ‘scary’.

“I have no idea how any of this works, but it really feels like it’s spying on us. It’s pretty scary, if you ask me…”

And actually, they’re all a little bit right. AI can be cool and fun, but it can also be scary and harmful. In this lesson, students will explore for themselves how to think about the ethical implications of AI and its value to society.
