GenAI Series: Empowering GenAI Responsible Use in Students

This session explores best practices for guiding students in the responsible and ethical use of Generative AI (GenAI). As AI becomes an integral part of teaching, learning, and business, it is crucial to establish clear expectations, teach students how to craft effective prompts, and help them critically evaluate AI-generated content.

In this session, we:

  • Explore the benefits and challenges of GenAI in student learning.
  • Discuss strategies for integrating AI into coursework while maintaining academic integrity.
  • Provide hands-on activities for crafting effective prompts and verifying AI outputs.
  • Address ethical considerations, transparency in AI use, and student concerns.
  • Offer practical tools for detecting AI misuse and fostering responsible engagement.
