Bringing with them a plethora of information and advice on computational thinking and desiging and developing digital outcomes from the curriculum.
Thinking ahead to our digital world and decisions left up to non humans.
We took a driving test and had to choose who lives or dies as a driverless car.
My results are below and I am pleased with my results but the decisions were not easy.
This really made us think.
I suggest you also take the test because who knows when this might become a big part of our lives and will we be told any negative impacts?
Driverless cars! Already we have too many accidents on our roads. Who makes a decision if the brakes fail on a driverless car? Artificial intelligence (AI),
moral dilemma to have driverless cars
OMG! time for coding.
I love this. Coding can start as part of the digital technologies with understanding input and output, algorithm process, chalk games, understanding place value, less than, higher than. looking for number patterns with the binary numbers.
We were given numbers that were not sorted into any particular order.
We started at the same point and when we met the higher of the number went to the right and the lesser value to the left. This same event happened everytime two people met. Eventually we all came to the end of our code and we were also sorted into a numerical order.
What is ideal in the digital technologies is you can integrate Te Reo so easily!
We tried Scratch and there is so much you can progress too. Mine is very early entry. I have already told my class we will be starting week 7 this term. Our inquiry is about planet Earth, so I envisage we will make mazes similar to mine to get us started. I see this as a new focus for those students who prefer the gaming side of the digital world.

AI scares me. I found it frightening to learn that the moral and ethical values placed in the AI brain in making life and death decisions are dependent on the cultural/ethnic belief systems it originally comes from. Moral and ethical values across the many cultures and races in the world are not consistent and uniform. Yet the decisions that these AIs will make will be based on whichever culture/country it was built by.
ReplyDeleteGiven that Sophia has been given Saudi Arabian citizenship and the citizenship protections therein, how long will it be before AI in Western countries receive human rights privileges and protections such as non-discrimination (in colour, religion, age, gender, etc)?
lovely fluer!
ReplyDeleteHello Olivia and Maia, How are you both? I did not know you had blogs. My class blogs with other schools to see what they do in their days at school. My class is so digital! I love it.
