Using AI Well
Artificial Intelligence is more and more embedded in the world around us including our approaches to learning.
Like every technology sold to us as customers, our tikanga and how we use it determines whether it works for us or if we work for the companies making the products.
The ability of AI is developing at an incredibly fast pace, with effects far beyond what's in front of us on the screen. This page contains resources to help us keep up and ensure we're using it in ways that bring our values and guiding kaupapa to life.
Learning Prompts
AI can be an amazing technology for learning or it can shortcut the learning experience entirely.
One of the ways we use it thoughtfully is by structuring prompts to give us responses that help us learn - we call these Learning Prompts. The opposite is called a Shortcut Prompt, because it shortcuts our learning opportunity.
RACE Framework
Most of the AI used is called an LLM or Large Language Model - it can answer and complete a very large range of requests. If you're not clear in what you're asking, you'll get it's best guess at what you want.
Being specific in these four parts of your prompt and formatting in this framework can help make your AI's response as useful as possible.
Data Training Opt-out
AI often defaults to training itself on our data - that means it gets smarter and learns from what we tell it. When using te reo Māori especially, it's important to understand if we're teaching these tools as we use them.
