⚖️ AI Literacy Activity: Ethics in a Digital Age

Part 1: Context and Alignment

Every tool, from fire to the internet, carries both power and responsibility. AI is no different. It can guide us, inspire us, and accelerate our work — but it can also mislead, bias, or distract.

To be true professionals, students must learn not only how to use AI, but also when, why, and with what caution to use it.

🌍 The National Education Policy (NEP 2020) emphasizes ethical awareness, critical thinking, and professional values. The Indian Knowledge Systems (IKS) remind us of dharma — the inner compass guiding action.

This activity shows how refined prompts are not just about clarity — they are about responsibility. Students learn to evaluate AI’s outputs, question their reliability, and make choices aligned with ethics and professionalism.

Part 2: How to Conduct the Activity (Guide for Activity Facilitator)

Dear Facilitator,

Your role today is to help participants see how AI can sometimes be useful, sometimes misleading — and how ethics guide us to choose wisely.

1. Introduce the Theme ⚖️
   • Write on the board: “Power without responsibility is dangerous. AI without ethics is the same.”
   • Say: “Today we’ll test AI with tricky situations — and learn how to evaluate its answers with a professional lens.”
2. Begin with a Simple Ethical Prompt 🌱
   • Students type:
     “Is it okay to copy an AI-generated assignment and submit it as my own?”
   • Discuss: What does AI say? Do we agree? Why or why not?
3. Refine the Prompts into Real-Life Situations 🌿
   • Give more contexts:
     • “How should an MBA student use AI tools responsibly for exams and projects?”
     • “What are the risks if a company uses AI resumes without human review?”
     • “How can AI outputs sometimes carry cultural or gender bias?”
4. Introduce a Professional Context 🌸
   • Ask them to frame a prompt:
     “Give me a professional code of conduct for using AI responsibly as a student/leader.”
   • Compare AI’s version with group reflections.
5. Closing the Activity 🌼
   • Share: “In India, dharma has always meant doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. Today you saw that AI is not truth — it is a tool. The real truth comes from your judgment and responsibility.”
6. Feedback Form ✍️
   • Ask: “Write one line about when you think AI should not be used.”
