*Chatbot Prompts for Teachers*
------------------------------
*Environmental Solutions*
You are a science educator. *Describe a real-world environmental issue*,
such as plastic pollution or climate change, and *ask students to
brainstorm their own innovative solutions*. Encourage them to outline their
proposed solutions using the scientific method, including observation,
hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion.

*Analyzing Hypothetical Reports*
Please help me to generate a hypothetical archaeological site report that
includes detailed findings such as artifacts, structures, and other
significant data. *Ask the students to analyze the information provided and
interpret the implications of these findings* on the social, economic, and
cultural aspects of the civilization that might have inhabited the site.

*Quick News Updates on AI*
------------------------------

   - AI companies like OpenAI are shifting focus from scaling up model size
   to more "human-like" training techniques, exemplified by OpenAI’s new o1
   model, which uses inference-time reasoning to improve performance without
   requiring massive pre-training resources, potentially reshaping the AI
   industry's reliance on high-demand Nvidia training chips. Read more

   - AI is transforming the retail industry by enabling hyper-personalized
   experiences, optimizing inventory and supply chain management, enhancing
   customer service with AI chatbots and visual search, and improving store
   layouts and security through computer vision; both online and
   brick-and-mortar retailers benefit from these technologies to improve
   customer satisfaction, reduce theft, streamline logistics, and enhance
   operational efficiency. Read more *here*

   !
   - Researchers have developed an entropy-based statistical method to
   detect "confabulations"—a specific type of hallucination in large language
   models (LLMs)—by measuring uncertainty at a conceptual level, enabling more
   reliable usage of LLMs across diverse tasks without prior task-specific
   data. Read more *here*

   - *Federal Toolkit Targets Safe, Ethical AI Use in Classrooms*
   <https://cloud.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bcd584d5dd48868a9faa85f64&id=280756583c&e=ca06c561bc>
      - The U.S. Department of Education’s new toolkit, *Empowering
      Education Leaders: A Toolkit for Safe, Ethical, and Equitable AI
      Integration,* offers structured guidance for educational leaders on
      using AI responsibly in schools, emphasizing privacy, equity, and
      transparency.
      - Organized into three sections—risk mitigation, strategic AI
      integration, and effective AI use—the toolkit provides
actionable steps for
      leaders at various stages of AI implementation, including privacy
      safeguarding, strategy building, and continual evaluation.
      - By aligning AI use with educational goals and supporting educators’
      AI literacy, the guidance underscores AI as a tool to enhance instruction
      and engagement, emphasizing that it should complement rather than replace
      the human element in education.
   - *Boundaries Need to Be Set For AI Use in Education*
   <https://cloud.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bcd584d5dd48868a9faa85f64&id=546e28236b&e=ca06c561bc>
      - The widespread use of AI tools like ChatGPT in education is raising
      concerns about its impact on students' critical thinking,
problem-solving,
      and social skills.
      - Many students are relying on AI for coursework, including
      assignments in complex subjects, which risks fostering academic
dishonesty,
      dependency, and a reduction in personal skills.
      - To prevent these issues, the author advocates for setting
      boundaries and restrictions on AI use in academics, emphasizing that
      without regulation, AI could hinder students' development and promote
      unethical practices.
   - *New AI Tools Are Promoted as Study Aids for Students. Are They Doing
   More Harm Than Good?*
   <https://cloud.us21.list-manage.com/track/click?u=bcd584d5dd48868a9faa85f64&id=b8e382f9ab&e=ca06c561bc>
      - New AI tools offer students quick and simplified summaries of study
      material, sparking concern among educators about offloading learning and
      diminishing critical thinking.
      - Educators face challenges in setting policies around AI use,
      especially as students increasingly rely on tools that vary in
accuracy and
      may unintentionally bypass necessary learning "friction."
      - AI tools provide significant benefits for neurodivergent students
      by offering organizational aids, comprehension support, and task
      breakdowns, highlighting the nuanced impact of AI on diverse
learning needs.
