One fear about generative artificial intelligence, such as ChatGPT, is that students will outsource their creative work and critical thinking to it. But Katie Davis, a University of Washington associate professor in the Information School, is also interested in how researchers might use AI tools to make learning more creative.
In her book,"Technology's Child: Digital Media's Role in the Ages and Stages of Growing Up," Davis examines how technology affects kids, teens and. She distills research in the area into two key qualities of technologies that support development: They should be"self-directed" and"community-supported" .
I'm fascinated by emerging research on what kids are doing with generative AI, such as ChatGPT, when they have free time and want to explore. How are they thinking and making sense of generative AI and its potential—not just for learning, but for going about their daily lives? My hope is that kids will learn to give ChatGPT and other AI tools creative prompts and use chatbots as a source of inspiration rather than an answer bank. But teaching kids to use AI creatively and critically isn't easy. Plus, I'm mindful that there's an unfortunate pattern in education technology whereby innovative uses are traditionally found in more affluent, well-resourced schools.
Are there ways to design AI tools to emphasize 'self-directed' and 'community-supported' experiences of the sort you recommend in your book? Even in my university teaching, I have had to think carefully about the kinds of assignments that I'm giving students. I can't just ask them to write a paper on some topic, because, odds are, they're going to use ChatGPT to write it. So I have to really think about what is it that I want them to know and be able to do. It's not easy, but I love the conversations we're having as educators.
