Lesson 7. Practical ethical checklist for educators and staff

Reflection task:  Complete the ethical AI checklist

Choose one AI use case from your own educational or organisational context. If you do not currently use AI, choose one possible future use case. Examples:

• – using AI to draft learner communication;
• – using AI to create learning materials;
• – using AI to adapt text to a simpler language level;
• – using AI to support learner feedback;
• – using AI to summarise meeting notes;
• – using AI to support learner placement or guidance;
• – using AI to generate visuals or examples.

Complete the downloadable Ethical AI Use Checklist for your chosen use case.

After completing the checklist, answer:

1. 1. Is this AI use low risk, needs caution, high risk or unacceptable?
2. 2. What is the main benefit of using AI in this case?
3. 3. What is the main risk?
4. 4. What safeguard is needed before use?
5. 5. Who should review or approve the use?
6. 6. What is your final decision: proceed, proceed with safeguards, ask for approval or do not use?
