AI’s automation capabilities are fascinating, but they also raise ethical questions. Instructors can use this fascination to teach students about ethical digital literacy.

Suppose students are excited about AI-powered virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa. In this context, instructors can engage them in discussions about data ethics, responsible AI use, and the consequences of over-reliance on automation. Understanding these ethical considerations is essential for making informed choices about the integration of AI into daily life and future career decisions.

By harnessing students’ excitement for AI tools, instructors can impart crucial digital literacy skills that empower them to navigate the complex and AI-driven digital landscape responsibly, ethically, and confidently.
