Un jeu a debattre pour sensibiliser a l'Intelligence Artificielle dans le contexte de la pandemie de COVID-19

Project Overview

The document explores the growing significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, emphasizing the need for public education regarding AI technologies. It introduces a serious game tailored for high school students that encourages them to engage in debates about AI solutions for epidemic control, highlighting the importance of comprehending AI's implications and inherent biases. Through role-playing and facilitated discussions, the game aims to enhance critical thinking and raise awareness about the societal impacts of AI technologies. This innovative educational approach not only equips students with knowledge about AI but also promotes their ability to evaluate and discuss the ethical, social, and practical considerations surrounding the integration of AI in daily life. The findings suggest that such interactive educational tools can effectively prepare students to navigate the complexities of AI, fostering a more informed and responsible future generation capable of leveraging technology for societal benefit.

Key Applications

Serious game for debating AI solutions for epidemic control

Context: High school students engaging in a civic debate about AI applications in managing an epidemic

Implementation: Participants assume roles in a fictional city to discuss and evaluate AI solutions for epidemic control, followed by a debriefing session to discuss ethical and technical implications.

Outcomes: Enhanced understanding of AI technologies, critical thinking about ethical implications, and awareness of the biases in AI systems.

Challenges: Misconceptions about AI infallibility, privacy concerns, and the challenge of engaging users with varying levels of prior knowledge.

Implementation Barriers

Educational Barrier

General public lacks knowledge about AI and its implications, leading to reliance on media narratives. This includes a need for understanding the ethical implications of AI.

Proposed Solutions: Implement educational programs that promote a basic understanding of AI, its ethical implications, and the importance of critical evaluation of AI applications, particularly through engaging methods like serious games.

Technological Barrier

The potential for AI systems to reproduce and amplify existing biases present in training data.

Proposed Solutions: Educate users about the limitations of AI systems and emphasize the importance of critical evaluation of AI applications.
