Did you complete the lesson about AI and sustainability at school with your teacher? If so, we’d love to hear about any good discussions you had. You could tell us…

  • … about any good debates between you and your classmates. For example, about who you think should and should not be allowed to use AI?

  • …how you changed your mind about something during the lesson. For example, have you changed your mind about how helpful or unhelpful AI is for the planet?

  • …about how this news story is affecting your country. For example, how is your local area affected by climate change? Or are people in your country using AI responsibly?

If you haven’t done this lesson yet but you’d like to – let your teacher know. They can download the Topical Talk resources.

  • The lesson helped me understand Ai better and cleared my misconceptions about Ai. it also shifted my viewpoint about Ai, i always used to think that AI is doing nothing more than harm to our planet and stifling our creativity but now i think Ai is very helpful to us, in almost every way possible. But this doesn't change the fact that it's still causing harm to us.

    And about how this news story is affecting my country.. i'd like to share the slight change i've observed in my surroundings; I've seen how people are dependent on AI even for the smallest things and how they'd not hesitate to take it's help in a project or a homework they're supposed to do?.. it's almost irresponsible. But then i think Ai is very much needed as well, I believe AI can be the best teacher if we use it responsibly, it provides us with customized learning experiences and helps us to understand difficult topics!

    1. I agree because at first, most of the world thought that AI harms us and most of the people believed that in the future if we keep using ai and keep supporting it, we will have robots and these robots will control us and control the whole planet which is logically not going to happen because we use AI, at least I guess 63% in a useful way and not in a harmful way so I guess it couldn't harm us. I also agree that the harms us like harming our eyes from using it a lot and harming our brain and making it think slower, but, not all the AI harms us some of the AI helps us and it's useful and some AI is useless and doesn't help us. Like for example if we are using some machines for our students to learn something, this is useful and maybe it harms us but not so much like for example using screen time a lot, this harms our eyes and this may cause wearing glasses and not seeing well.

      Thanks, topical talk!

    2. I agree because the lesson taught us about AI and sustainability whether AI is sustainable or not we learnt how to control AI's excess use electrical energy so that we can use it for our daily activities. We talked about minimizing the use of AI to have enough electrical energy and this lesson taught me that even though AI is not yet sustainable it is still very essential for our daily work. We also learnt that if nobody wants to come up and speak against how AI is causing chaos and harm to our planet we should do that so that our world we be safe without any harm from AI.

    3. I'm not sure about this because AI could be bad as well, AI might be stifling our creativity by learning from us, which might discredit some artists that create original art. I think there sould be some rules put in place to stop AI from taking over our thoughts, E.g AI has to state where they got inspiration for their art from.

  • We had lots of discussions about AI and Sustainability which helped me to understand we should not over use AI because it will make us lazy and it will bring more harm to the environment which will cause Climate Change (Tornados, Hurricanes, Floods and Avalanches). Which will reduce trees and cause a lot damage to the environment.

    1. I agree because if we continue to progress with the use of AI in not up to 2032 the place may become hazardous to human lives. But if that time comes we may be able to stop the man-made disaster about to come. And I also agree with suggestion about being "lazy" because last year a lot of people also talked about this same topic. And if we are able to tackle this problem then I can say that we would not have any form of man-made disaster. The ozone has being depleting but scientist say that before 2040 every thing will turn back to normal, but I do not think so because the country here is feeling a lot heat but in London they are feeling up -1 degree so I do not think AI is improving but it still has positive effect

      1. I disagree because if AI was never invented am not sure we humans might be able to predict the future as we do now and if AI was not invented life might not be as simple as it is now. it is due to the help of AI that we are able to make the comments we are making today, if not AI I'm not sure the world will be where it is today and lots of life would have been lost by now due to different problems and causes. so i would say that AI is sustainable for humans.

        1. I disagree because I think that if not AI, I think that each person will be less lazy, and we could think a future more responsable to environnement. However, I understand that IA allow us to understand the real risks and consequences of the economic growth.

        2. I disagree because you can’t say that World can’t be like is it today without AI because the big discoveries they did AI and the Neolithic revolution et Industrial Revolution have impacted hardly the society but I e more time without the help of AI.
          Ok the AI allow the society to develop more faster than before but you can’t say that AI has defined the modern world entirely because it’s false she have only participate to the development.
          Actually it’s more à good question to ask what it’s the goal and the future of AI and because of the society isnt use all the time AI and finally if the society use good and more AI than before it can draw a new world? It’s a good question but I’m disagree with you!
          Have a good day

      2. I disagree with you because I think AI, if used carefully, could actually help us solve problems instead of making them worse. Yes, there are concerns about how AI could be dangerous if it's not controlled, but AI also has a lot of potential to make things better. For example, AI can help scientists create cleaner energy, protect the environment, and even help stop things like pollution or climate change. So, while we should be careful, I don’t think it’s all bad.

        As for the ozone layer, scientists are working hard to fix it, and they’ve already made progress. It’s true that it’s still a problem, but saying everything will be fine by 2040 might be too optimistic. However, we should still trust the experts and give them time to help fix it.

        Also, about the heat and temperature difference between places like your country and London, it’s a bit more complicated. Climate change isn’t just about one place being hotter; it's about the whole world changing in ways we didn’t expect. AI could be used to study and help us understand those changes better.

        So, while there’s some risk with AI, I believe we should try to use it wisely because it can also be really helpful. Just like with the ozone layer, we need to work together to find solutions.

    2. I think AI can be a useful tool but we need to be careful with it not over use it but be able to still enjoy it. I know some people have very strong opinions about these sort of things but I think AI is good and bad good- it can be a useful tool bad- not good for the environment.

      1. I am in accord of it, as it is a tool which could be as polluting as excess carbon emissions to the globe, and as helpful as a teacher in academics and learning.
        In my opinion, I would like to add that, it lies in the hands of the user, to use it wisely and not cause trouble to the environment.

      2. I agree in almost everything you said, but you have said that it is not good for the environment, and i think that the AI can be good for the environment because we can use it to inform ourselves and know more about the environment, and if we know more about the subject, we could make it improve.

    3. Although AI can be useful and efficient, I completely agree with you. You really made me think when saying that "it will make us lazy". It made me realize that we, mainly teens, have become very dependent on AI. Most people have given up on their education and have just relied on AI to help them pass classes. Also, I never realized that AI has such a big carbon foot. You made a good point when you bring up the fact that each search of AI, slowly but surely heat up our planet to its max. In reality, we have failed to realize that all of this negative climate change is slowly, yet surely, affecting our well being as humans as well. AI is useful, but only to a certain degree.

      1. Hi trusting_flute,
        You're saying most people have given up on their education - can you tell us where you found your evidence of that?

        1. I would love give a reply to this question. I read somewhere that in an infamous university, students were dependent on Artificial Intelligence to write essays which had a lot of credits. The professors came out with an interesting trap to confront the students cheating their way out of the assignments. They handed out a task of writing a story, but they had something deep inside their sleeves, they had previously analyzed some few hundred stories generated from top AI chatbots and listed out some common characters and storylines. They had also included a small link for the Terms and Conditions revealing their plan, but the modern-day students completely ignored the small link on the assignment page. Nearly 70% of the stories had the same storylines/characters as the chatbot results. These students had their grades terminated. This story is completely real and I hope it supports trusting_flute 's argument.

        2. Yes, of course, I have observed and noticed that many of my peers at school are sadly giving up on their education because of AI. I might have exaggerated just a tad when saying that "most" have stopped caring about their education, but I do see many students constantly getting caught using AI to make an immigration of what would have been their true work. I think this is very devastating because these students are not putting their full effort into something pretty important.

          1. What do you think can be can be done to prevent the use of AI in education?

            1. Hello Eva, my name is Vivacious _Independence.
              There are many things that can prevent the use of AI in Education but one of the many ways is extending the number of years that people spend in school by two more years and restricting the age for entrance to a tertiary institution should be 18. I believe if there is more time being given students would become my more clinical in the way they think and reason. Therefore this reduces the chances of using AI.

            2. Reduce the use of AI in the education is a challenge because, now a days, AI is more present in our society. One option could be promote traditional methods like debates or dictations. The most easy way is train teachers to explain their lessons without depending on the technology, specifically AI. Also setting limits on the use of AI would ensure that it is only a tool we can use to help us and not the center of the classes.

            3. To be completely honest, there isn't much we can do to prevent the use of AI in education. Although, I do believe that there should be stricter regulations on who has accessibility to AI. At my high school we have a platform where teachers can monitor students screens, but students have found loopholes to hide applications. AI has become super easy to access through phones and computers. Social media platforms such as Tik Tok, Snapchat, Instagram, and many more, now have AI. This practically places AI in the palms of students hands. Although, I think it's important that students should be taught when and where AI is appropriate to use. This could really change students' views on AI and become less dependent on it. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, preventing students from AI is pretty much inevitable.

        3. I doubt evidence is needed in the subject, the evidence is our everyday lives and the people around us. If you asked a high school student basic maths, theres a minor chance they know what you're talking about, since a high percentage of teens don't even use calculators for subjects like maths anymore, they mainly use AI for detailed responses.

      2. I agree because if we are just using AI we will be less useful and not use our knowledge more because we are just relying on a robots doing it for us.As we are getting older we should be able to know things without going on to AI. We should all know thing without cheating or using AI.

        1. What you say makes sense, but can you think of any examples where AI can be a useful tool?

          1. Hello Henry,I think AI can also be a useful tool as it can make our jobs easier , reduce errors in our work ,reduce paper and make our more accurate.

    4. I agree because the AI has caused many damages for the planet earth, for example the ozone depletion and climate change causing skin cancer and other damages, and also if we continue using the AI regardless there might be a serious problem in the next coming years and I also disagree with you about you saying that the AI will make us lazy because with the AI been present with us is to help us in what we can not do like for example the scientist they need the AI to help in some heavy duties and you cant tell me that it is making them to be lazy and another example like for the students they also need the AI for Homeworks and assignments they can not do and they will also be told by their teachers to get some help through the internet. So in conclusion you are right in some part and also wrong in some part.

    5. HI HONEST PERSONALITY
      We also had a lot of discussions in class about the good and bad of AI and yes it can make us lazy and cause harm but we should not forget that AI is still just a machine which we use. The lesson we had in class taught me a lot about AI which I didn't know before and it also made me understand that AI doesn't cause us to be lazy we are the ones causing ourselves to be lazy with it because we misuse it. Hope you give taught to my points.
      Thanks.

    6. In my opinion i agree because AI can help us but people are just gonna be on AI constantly wich could caus eye damage.Also, this can affect climate change as we will be more lazy . This means it can affect habitats and can cause animals to extinque.However we can still use AI but i think we shouldnt use it to often.

    7. We also had a discussion about AI and whether it is sustainable or not and I learned lots of things about AI that I didn't know , such as its big impact on the environment and how harmful it can be for both our planet and for even ourselves , as if we use it way too much we will eventually rely on it and we won't be able to use our critical thinking.

    8. I agree with you because if AI is going to do things for us then more people will rely on it and will be lazy. Also, if AI assists people, people would not work anymore. For example, there's a cafe in Japan where people can control robots to serve people and talk to them. The people are working from home. Finally, AI can cause climate change. I learned that one singular AI generated picture take as much energy as charging a phone to 50%. Also, a Google search also takes so much energy, the same as a running a clock for one hour. That means that so many fossil fuels keep getting wasted and so many data centers are getting built which is polluting the air. So, AI can have a negative and a positive effect on society or the world.

    9. I don´t really agree with you but I don´t desagree, because I think, AI is making us more leasy, because if we tell AI to do something, it do it for us. But I desagree because in some points of view is not so bad for us and meaby in the future could be use full for more, different and important things.

  • This lesson taught me about the do's and dont's of AI. In the past I didn't like AI and think it is useless, unsustainable, it makes us lazy and it created unemployment but
    It is very useful for us as it helps us in many ways like enhance our efficiency,create transparency,fairness etc.

    1. Thank you for sharing your opinion @beloved_statement! What caused you to change your mind and see AI as a useful tool? And can you explain how it can improve fairness?

  • This lesson taught me about the transformative approach of AI towards people of different professions and fields. This lesson also served as an eyeopener, factful lesson that gave us an insight to the amount of resources wasted and energy consumed just for the sake of our "progress" this spiked a feeling of inquisitiveness and innovation on how we can use technology to counter the problems created by technology.

  • This lesson taught me about artificial intelligence. It was a very good session in which we understood by playing games and learned through them. I learnt that AI is useful for all the people as it helps doctor in finding the most suitable medicine for patients,for a online shopper as by a single search he gets the most suitable product or a teacher who uses AI to teach the students. It helps in many ways but there are disadvantages too like unemployment,increasing carbon footprint, data dependency and lack of creativity etc.

  • This lesson taught me about the back side of AI,that AI is consuming that much electricity and hence causing loss to environment. We should reduce dependency on AI and rely on traditional methods.
    More important is to protect the planet.

    1. what would be some examples of traditional methods that we can continue to develop?

      1. In agriculture field we can-:
        We can harvest and plant the crop manually.
        We can prepare the soil with help of animals .

        We should study from books and for news we can stick to newspaper. We should start buying things offline and start selling things offline.

        If we will stick to offline practices the spread of computer viruses will be less and cyber crime will reduce by a lot of number.

        If we will stick to offline practices the spread of computer viruses will be less and cyber crime will reduce by a lot of number.

    2. I second that, completely relying on AI can cause indolence in beings. Eventually, this would lead to the eradication of our planet. And yes, AI has a lot many cons which makes humans to harness AI all time!

    3. I agree because... AI is one of the things that are harmful to the earth. the fact that AI isn't sustainable, people still use them and they consume a lot of electricity as you said and the power supply won't be strong that will have effects on us to and I say we should protect our planet, cause it seem the world is falling pies by pies from Huracan to oil spillage to wild fires we don't want more distractions we want to build a better world not an AI world. We should us AI well and smartly.

  • We had tons of discussions, we watched a video about the do's and dont's we also had a debate which made me understand that not all jobs require AI.

  • This lesson taught me the pros and cons of AI as well as how AI is used in different fields such as doctors use AI for accurate report results as well as for x - rays and many more. I have learnt that there are many people who are not in favour of AI, such as climate activist who are aware of the emissions of carbon dioxide by AI. Also the use of resources by AI.

  • today at our school we conducted the classroom spy activity. I became a banker and got to know about the pros and cons of AI in a banker's life . We had a wonderful discussion on the use of AI in other professions too. After this great discussion I can conclude that AI is neither bad or good , it depends on us humans how we use it . Of course AI is a important part of our lives but so is sustainability. We will have to find a way to make AI more sustainable , to enjoy it's benefits guilt free.

    1. I agree with you. In my school we also discussed about AI in different profession, I especially like the fact that fashion designer can use AI. AI can help analyze past designs, trends and then help fashioner designers with more unique and innovative design. AI can also help generate pictures of ancient times which will make learning more interesting and fun. Imagine put putting images to stories of old with the data generated by AI. This is really making life easier and less stressful, don't you agree?

    2. I agree with you in my school we discussed on the classroom spy too i was a scientist and i figured out that scientists will need the use of AI to do their jobs like, to find out about an upcoming natural disaster. So they tell journalists to expose it to the world or even post it on the internet.

  • This lesson taught me how AI has its pros and cons ,like how sometimes AI can be usefull because loads of people use it for work, prodjects and helping people with writing or something there stuck on, but sometimes it can be problematic because it uses a lot of energy and emissions and it has still not been properly developed yet ,which means there are still problems developing. This means, the more we use AI and technology the more problems they will be in the future .

  • this lesson taught me that though ai is quite beneficial for us helping us rapidly change our lifestyles but not avoiding the fact that it is starting to become a problem for global issues like climate change, global warming and what not so i think its better to start protecting the planet rather than making the situation worsen for our mother earth.So lets start protecting and enough of destroying !

  • This lesson taught me the pros and cons of Ai. Before I use to think Ai was not that useful and just harms our nature but after the discussion I got that everything is fine and good till we over use it and cross the boundary. Ai is very useful in many professions for example if we say about students it is useful for them to make schedule or project but the over use of ai gradually makes the student dependent on AI and it even destroyes his/her creativity .another example is a doctor ai can check the report and provide medicine according to the report of the patient and so the doctor can move to the next pateint. to conclude with Ai is useful but at a cost. It is just like a double edged sword if we use it nicely it have many advantages but if we don't so it can back harm us.

  • While talking about AI and sustainability,We all are aware of the benefits we get from it, making our life much more easier and comfortable.It gives us exactly what we need as a part of playing a personal assistant.Over the years,AI has changed into more like our everyday assistance...for example, A student can ask an AI to set her alarm, write a paragraph,or give her some informations.

    While this benefits us, it also takes away our freedom of choice and thinking since most of us takes help or assistance from It with almost everything making us unable to make choices alone aka doubting ourselves...

  • This lesson taught me that how AI can be used by doctors, farmers, shopkeepers and students in many different ways. I learnt that it makes our tasks easier, effective and accurate.
    On the other hand it also harms our ENVIRONMENT! Surprisingly, large amount of energy is consumed during the use of AI.

  • This lesson taught me that some people think that AI can be useful almost everything, from a recipe of making a coffee to understanding any subject in detail.
    No doubt, AI is more accurate, effective and efficient but, it makes our capacity of thinking weaker. It makes us lazy. Also it gradually damage our NATURE making it unsustainable and not completely good for use.

  • The lesson taught me some of the mind blowing facts about usage of AI and its side effects. I believe that everyone should have that sort of knowledge so that one should always think about its adverse and irreversible effects on our environment. Although it should be used, but only by the ones who have the real need for it. We shall be aware of its pros as well as cons, and prevent its over and unnecessary usage.

  • This lesson taught me and my fellow topical talkers about the true potential of AI. We had some debates regarding some topics of AI and who should use it or not and how it affects our planet and environment. After having the thorough go through of this lesson it kind of truly did change my prospective. I learnt that to an extent , AI is also beneficial and helpful, but due to it's high release of carbon emissions and the danger of misuse of AI, we should use AI cautiously and only when needed. Through this lesson I also learnt that how climate change devastates our earth and the society and such a danger should be avoided at all costs.

  • This lesson taught me about the ifs and buts of Ai . There are many tasks in our daily life in which we involve ai , which helps us to complete various activities. But, there are some disadvantages of the same , nowadays the lack of emotions is also seen in the youth ,which plays an important role is the above scenario.

  • Last week we had an educational class with our teacher about AI. Basically, we learned more about artificial intelligence and later discussed it with each other and our teacher. We solved quizzes and tasks in groups, and it opened my eyes to the problems of using AI. I didn't think much about it before, I always thought "Yes, of course it has downsides, but it can't be that bad!", but now I see that those flaws are not minor problem, and the more that we ignore them, the worse it will get. I'm really glad we had that lesson because it helped me understand how much our overuse actually affects the environment and climate change.

  • My class discussed different catagories which you could use for AI, like : doctors, scientists, owners of a big shopping company, education and farming. In my opinion, the least helpful would be in the area of farming, because most people already use machines in farming. Most importanly, I would like to see doctors use more AI as this will save peoples lives and it will be a quick experience, saving patients from pain and death.

  • During our classroom discussion about AI sustainability and use
    I learned about how this tool can help us in addressing and solving complex problems in a variety of fields like health,education,space tech,housing and even arts to name a few.

    But it also brought in my mind that besides its effect on economic and environmental factors,how technology can cause harm on personal level too,it causes us be dependent on itself by limiting our vision and ability to think out of the box.
    Its basic human nature to opt for the easiest choice available and with AI around,plaigarism is one of the biggest threat.

  • This lesson taught me AI needs to be more sustainable because it uses too much energy we need to use it carefully

  • This lesson taught me about the pros and cons of ai. In our daily life we invovle ai in various tasks which helps us to be organised ,systematic and accomplish many tasks on time.But along with this there are many drawbacks too, for example the ai can enhance the people's qualities as well as can make slothful .

  • This lesson taught me about the prons and crons of ai.In our daily life we invovle ai in various tasks which helps us to be organised ,systematic and accomplish many tasks on time.But along with this there are many drawbacks too, for example the ai can enhance the people's qualities as well as can make people slothful .

  • This lesson taught me that like every coin has two sides similarly AI have both pros and cons. AI has helped us develop and reach new heights. Only with the help of AI and technology there are new researches and experiments. We are able to easily connect all over the world. However AI is unsustainable we can find out ways to make it sustainable by minimising it's use if it is unnecessary. Also we had a debate about who should be allowed to use AI. I enjoyed it a lot and came to know about different people perspectives and I respect it. It was a interactive session which helped me to know more about AI.

  • This lesson taught me that though AI can be a lot helpful in several ways but it also creates a lot of disturbance in our environment contributing to global emmisions. So it is helpful to make AI sustainable

    1. I agree because AI helps us spot diseases, environmental disasters and other things like that but it produces 285,000 electronic waste which is really bad .

  • At school this lesson taught me that well i think that doctor or Scientist would be most important because well doctors heals people who have injuries and scientists tell you like if a earthquake might come so AI really helps us in everything

  • this lesson taught me that AI is getting very advanced which i believe is a positive and a negative due to it saving time and energy and generally helping and making life easier a first hand example is chat gpt being a great source to summarise huge texts

    1. But chat gpt is gradually killing your creativeity,problem solving and other skills.It is also consuming that much electricity.

  • this lesson taught me several things about AI which benifitted my overall understanding in this topic as it didnt just talk about one side of AI which says it is beneficial but also that AI has given its contribution to global emmisions to i believe that its better to protect our planet till the situation goes out of hand.

  • In my school we had many discussions about AI and sustainability ,In which I learnt that Ai is a useful tool for us to use ,But we should use it in a limited manner ,We should think for ourselves but not depend upon a robot, And we humans should use AI correctly .We can use AI for some tips if we are lacking in between a topic.

    WAYS WE CAN USE AI:
    *we can use AI in a creative manner.
    *we can get ideas for our presentation.
    *to predict climate change.
    *for translation.
    *for animating ETC...

    THANK YOU

  • Having this lesson help me to understand the importance of using AI in a correct way because we can´t depend our lives with this artficial intelligence, because is not going to help us solving problems of our daily life. If I have any health problem I wouldn´t like that my life depends on a machine thats why doctors have studied a degree in medicine for lot of years. Some jobs need to use AI for example people who creates platforms they need to use tecnology to work.

  • I learned that AI should and should not be sustainable because sometimes can make people lazy but sometimes it can help people who are working from home because the are ill or yea

    1. Can you please explain your idea about AI helping people who are working from home?

  • This lesson taught me we should always think about advantages and disadvantages about everything. In the beginning of the class I was thinking that AI didn't do any damage to us and our planet. We were discussing about negative consequences of AI, but we were also learning about positive affects of AI. We talked about how AI use a lot of non-biodegradable materials. It negatively impacts our brain because we don't develop creativity and imagination. It can also replace humans in some areas , for example education. We learn about how AI can help us. It can help to predict some natural disasters. It can help doctors, scientists, farmers... to do their job. AI can also be usefull in everyday life. It can make us timetable for our activities and answer the questions we can't find answer for. In concusion, AI has it's bad and good sides. We should use it in moderation. In the end of the class I changed my mind and now I think that AI can be usefull but we shouldn't use it too often because it makes harm to our planet.

  • I learnt a lot and heard things i haven't heard before my opponent was a scientist she said as a scientist i should be able to warn people about natural disasters to save life's. I am a student, as a student i should be able to use AI cause if i want to understand the topic well i would research on it to understand and get mean keys. although AI is nit sustainable yet but people still use it and it gives them results based on the way you write and explain it

  • This lesson taught me a lot of things. For example I never thought that AI can pollute so much and it needs so much water to not overheat. I also had some good debates with my classmates. Everyone of us would get a card with on j0b on it and we should argue with another classmate who should be allowed to continue to use AI. I remember I had this good debate of who should be able to continue to use AI, scientist or doctor.
    Since I found out about this lesson I changed my mind about AI because of the pollution he might be more bad for the planet. I still think it helps a lot of people, but it pollutes a lot and that is not good for the planet.

  • I have changed my mind on a lot of things which has given me a new approach and a new view or perspective of how AI has changed our technology related world with new and different innovations that have improved working conditions and at the same time i have seen the dangers and the negative tole of how the AI affects our planet earth it is a big concern because we humans aren't taking into consideration how the progress of the AI does not count if the earth is still being negatively affected just like the saying "Too much of a good thing is Bad"

  • I learnt that AI is very bad because it could harm some of us who use devices mostly teenagers because they are addicted to their phones but some people might use it in a good way for example they use it for homework or to call their family members . AI could harm the environment that causes climate change , I think important people because we might not know if their will be a hurricane or something bad might happen . AI is useful in some good ways.

  • We hade lots of discussions with my teacher and my class mates about AI and how robots could take over some peoples jobs such as teaching but the thing with robots teaching they can't tell peoples feelings and people need to let their feelings out. We also played a debate game with each other so our teacher gave some cards to us then we picked one then took ten steps from our seats and after ten steps we looked at the person next to you and then you make the debate on which card you have for example i picked the university student i had to find a person with a different card and have a debate and i really loved it so much.

  • This lesson taught me about all the damage AI does to the planet. At the beginning of the lesson it was a great surprise to me when I learnt that AI does so much harm to the world, for instance; AI lets out 5 time more carbon dioxide than a car over a whole year.
    In class discussed who should get the privilege of using AI and my class agreed it should be doctors. We discussed that doctors look inside the body and AI could help them by using its knowledge to help with diagnosis and more. The newest AI invention for doctors is a micro-sized camera, which goes inside the body and takes pictures for doctors to study and observe.
    The world is in a worrying state with all the wild fires, storms/hurricanes and floods and it is very upsetting when we see that AI deeply contributes to climate change.

  • AI can be helpful by teaching children who are learning and growing every day about school learning, healthcare, and everyday use.AI is in our everyday lives however this can go south I must say.Due to copying and alleged supports of cheating and the overall idea about students being lazy can cause extreme disadvantages.I saw a meme where a doctor use AI or chatgpt throughout his childhood and was the guys doctor.You don't want your doctor to be unprofessional and cheated to work on your brain, skin, and overall insides.I hope we still use AI for good purposes instead of cheating and demoralizing humanity.

  • This lesson taught me that AI has two faces. It has it's own negative sides and positive side. It taught me that not everyone not has opportunity to benefit from AI, but the people who are using it for evil purposes such as hacking and scamming people have the accessibility to it which is definitely a con of AI. AI can also be beneficial for making lives easier but at the same time it can be the reason for unemployment. AI has the power to connect people together but it is also being used for invading privacy like creating deep fakes of people or leaking their personal information. For now, most people can afford to work with AI but the rest who are not able to do so, are left out. In conclusion, AI can be good or bad, it depends upon the person how they are using it. This lesson sure taught about all the pros and cons of AI.

  • This lesson taught me how some people use AI for non-beneficial purposes which is not only hurting them but also the environment. In my classroom, we had a whole unit dedicated to AI, how it worked, and the proper ways to use AI so that it has a meaningful impact on the world. Our main topic was Students' dependency on AI and how it affects the environment. Additionaly we learned that every time someone asks a question to an AI engine such as chat GPT, the AI engine uses 0.5 Liters of water for every interaction the system has with someone asking a question. Learning this made me realize that we need to view AI not as a system that can do all our work for us or how Aldo Leopold said " we abuse the land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us " we need to stop viewing and treating Ai as a commodity and instead view it as a resource that is there to help.

  • Yes we agree - lots of students are just using AI to complete homework and although it can be useful to inform us we agree that it might results in some students becoming lazy. It does scare some of my teachers - will the day come where teachers will rely on AI to plan their lessons?? What would this mean for schools?

  • The AI lesson taught me about what jobs need AI and what jobs don’t really need AI and what AI’s importance is needed for certain jobs.

    1. Thanks for your comment, forceful_ladder! It would be interesting if you could share some of your findings with us.

  • In this lesson I leant a lot of things but I also like the way people was having a balance argument but I still think ai is helping us and the way young kids like us can have a better education and since ai has been around i think it has help a lot but my question is what do you think and the world think.

  • when we discussed Ai, it showed how wasteful AI is and we discussed how on tiktok AI gets used for the most useless stuff and how it gets used to scam people it shows how dangers it is but that it can be used for good as well doctors can use it to spot abnormalities in people and help farmers reduce waste but it still can be so waste full

  • We discussed the pros and cons of AI. AI may be helpful but extremely wasteful. I personally don't believe that AI is worth the environmental damage caused due to overheating servers.

  • This lesson taught me that AI and sustainability both are deeply interconnected , and both are equally important for a better future . During our discussion we had a debate about who should be allowed to use AI ,while some people said that only the experts should be allowed to use AI to avoid the misuse of technology, others opposed by saying that everyone should have a access to use AI , as long as it is used responsibly .

    One of the most interesting parts of the lesson when I changed my mind about AI's role in harming the planet. At first I thought that AI helps us in many ways like education, health care etc , but during the discussion I came to know about the amount of energy and other resources used by AI , which are harming our planet .

    We also had a conversation about how climate change is affecting our country. In some areas , there are extreme temperature , which has made sustainability a serious topic to discuss and think upon. AI can have a big role in solving these problems , but only if it is used carefully and responsibly .

    The lesson was very interesting and fun throughout. We all learnt a great deal about AI .

    THANK YOU!

  • We had discussions about AI and Sustainability, in one of the discussion we had with our teacher we talked about AI using much electricity that can even charge our phones to 50%, it was my first time hearing that, so it got me thinking, how does AI uses much energy that can even power our phone to 50%?, i asked my teacher and he said that AI uses lots of energy because people in the world today are using AI to help them in their work places and students uses it to do their assignment, and the use AI to send emails from one place to another, that is why it uses a lot of energy (2.9 watt) that is nearly ten times to perform those task that it was asked to do.

  • the reason why AI is not sustainable is because it is not yet suitable for our environment, so we should be able to be thinking of a way to make AI sustainable AI is used . For example reducing the rate at which it is used daily. When the AI is not used daily there will be a reduction in electronical waste, there for creating a sustainable environment for us.

  • There was a debate in our class where we were studying about functioning of government and an idea clicked to my teachers mind and she randomly divided the class into 2 halves.1 team was supposed to be ruling party presenting their views about making of a law which states that should we use our taxes in student education in rural areas or not where the opposition party opposed many thoughtful oppositions one on which I made the winning move was where opposition party asked why don’t we use the taxes in treatment or other big problems where I answered as it is hard to mould an old dried clay and easier with fresh soft clay similarly it is easier to explain our coming generation about our concerns because they are still to be moulded and education can only make them understand….

  • We had a lot of discussion's about AI and sustainability which taught me a lot of things. I learnt that we humans, if we overuse AI to the extent that it will make us start becoming very dull and Idle and it will also reduce our thinking skills which is very harmful and bad to us the humans. I say so because as time moves on, we would surely get to use AI more and that is why people become used to it and I say we become very slow and sluggish which could actually stop us from thinking with they gift our God has given to us as a gift.

  • I think so AI should not be used by students especially teenagers because this age groups has highest intellectual level and AI is killing it ,today's children intellectual (creativity ,problem solving etc.)have been decreased .
    So ,teenagers must avoid using it .

  • In the lesson I learnt the pros and cons of using AI and that gave me an insight on how dangerous and innovative AI is . We also learnt what AI is going to bring to 2025 and I was mind-blowed by the opportunity it could bring and the destruction it could bring by destruction it could make humankind more lazier than ever which will affect man kind's progress and this will actually improve the chances of AI causing destruction because in this lifestyle you will come across technology that is too powerful for are own good and as humans we have got to take actions of are work.

  • This lesson taught me that AI and sustainability have a connection. Throughout the lesson, I learned that both play an important role in the development and progress of society and planet Earth. During the discussion, we debated on who should have access to AI, some argued that only professionals should have access to avoid overusing and misusing AI and others argued that everyone should have access as long as they obey these conditions:
    1. Do NOT overuse AI
    2. Use it responsibly
    3. Consider the impacts of AI before using it irresponsibly

    In addition, my class also mentioned the impact of AI on the environment and our planet. We discussed about how AI releases an abundant amount of carbon dioxide, uses plenty of energy, and leads to electronic waste. When discussing the topic, my perspective widened about AI, though I do not see it as either completely negative or beneficial, I was shocked about hearing the damages that AI can cause. The discussion taught me many things, but I still believe that AI has its advantages and disadvantages, meaning that it can be both negatively and positively used.

  • This lesson taught me that AI is very beneficial for us but not our nature and this is because AI is not sustainable completely causing harm our environment and slowly contributing to the climate change . This lesson also opened my mind telling me to use AI responsibly and only when required . In our class we also debated who should be allowed to use AI and in whose life it is not so important .

  • This lesson taught me and my classmates a lot. I learned some facts that helped me realize how much AI is actually bad for our planet. It was really shocking to hear how much water AI uses on a daily basis. Apart from that we had a few disscusions in our class. The most interesting one was to decide who should have right to use AI the most. One group said that doctors should use it the most and the other choose scientist. At the end we realized both of these jobs can really benefit from it but we couldn’t agree who deserves it the most. At the end of the pyramid, one group put parents and the other put online shoppers. A girl from our class stood up and explained that parents can actually have a lot more benefits from AI than online shoppers, it’s because online shopping its not more important in our lives than being a good parent. The other group agreed and decided to change their opinion.

    1. How does AI allow someone to be a better parent? I would really like to know.

  • In my class we have learned all about AI. We learned just how much AI benefits us and just how bad it is for our planet. AI can be used for a bunch of things like it can help us find solutions to many different problems. It can also help us with every day life like setting reminders or how to cook, but at the same time AI also is quite bad for us. It will make us lazy as it can do quite some things for us in everyday things. It also causes a lot of climate change. If we are able to make some changes with AI we can learn a lot of different things. We are still exploring this new universe.

  • This lesson taught me something which I desired to learn listening the perspective of every profession that uses AI. Like how a forest rangers maintains the safety of forest with the help of AI , how a doctors manages it's patients using AI or how a scientist carries various inventions with the help of AI. In this lesson I also learned that how small impacts can bring big changes like if avoid to use mail unnecessarily it can save 27 litres of water .

  • Hello,
    I really enjoyed the lesson that we did in class. I thought it was informative and interesting. We had lots of different discussions and debates about who was the most deserving of using AI. During our conversations some people changed my mind on things and made me look at artificial intelligence in a different perspective.
    I said that Doctors need AI the most as they can find out the reason to why someone is ill/hurt and to also improve X-Rays. A counter discussion to that was that scientists need the technology to find new medicines and cures for people. So I put both of them as the people who most need AI.
    I also thought that farmers need artificial intelligence as they can identify the cause of plants dying or not growing and how they can help them to be healthy. This would mean we have better and more food to eat. Another important job that I think needs AI to help is a forest ranger. They can use drones to see deforestation and/or people illegally chopping down trees. This was also very interesting as artificial intelligence is actually creating carbon emissions and adding to global warming.
    My opinion on students using AI is mixed as it depends on how you use it. Say you used it to help you write an essay on something, I would think that is technically cheating because it is telling you what to do and isn’t fair on other people who haven’t used it. But if you asked it to help explain a problem or question that is fine. So I think students are less deserving of using it.

  • Hello
    I really enjoyed our lesson.
    We had debates about who deserved AI the most .In our group we had a really good debate about who needed AI more; a doctor or a scientist. I thought a doctor needed it more than a scientist because everyone needs to see a doctor at least twice in their life time. Scientists make medicines for the doctors to use but they do not only use medicines to treat ill patients. They use x-rays and other things too. AI also helps them diagnose cancer and other diseases. I know scientists needs AI to spot environmental disasters but what's the point when everyone is dying because doctors do not have the right equipment to treat people.

    1. Interesting thoughts memorable_raisin! Can you tell me more about AI helping with environmental disasters, and the good this will do?

  • We had alot discussion on AI and sustainability in our classrooms. We saw the thinking of different proffesions about AI and throughout this I learnt many more things about AI

    1. Great fun_ferret - can you tell me some things you learnt about AI?

  • The lesson Pedo ki Panchayat in hindi taught me about the various types in which we humans pollute and deterorate the environment. It is a chapter in which we are also taught about the ways in which we can save the environment

  • according to my own opinion AI and sustainability is a good topic to teach . according to my understanding
    AI and sustainability is a hard choice to make but for me I chose sustainability because it is just like saving
    our live

  • This lesson taught me about different perspective of different people and how they think and how we should try to be there perspective and understand from their point of views

  • This lesson taught me that Artificial Intelligence (AI), although a great tool, has its own disadvantages that more often than not, go unspoken about. The more we use AI, the more we are contributing to Climate Change because AI data centers release tons of CO2 emissions. However, this isn't the only problem AI has and can furthermore cause, dependent humans. The more we implement AI, the more we use AI, the more we trust AI, the more we loose our human intelligence. This change is slow, but this lesson has made me realize that this is already happening. I realize that many of my classmates use ChatGPT and Google for everything, even simple stuff you wouldn't usually use them for. This lesson opened my eyes to something that hadn't crossed my mind before. The famously growing AI isn't perfect. It's learning, and it's effecting us in the process. Sure, it helps us with plenty of things, but nevertheless it has negative effects on us. Thank you for the new perspective.

  • This lesson taught me when we continue to depend on make use of AI regularly, by 2030 we are going to have rate of increase in temperature as AI is not sustainable thereby aids in the depletion of the ozone layer and I also learnt that it's CO2 combustion is far away greater than that of cars and trucks.
    Also, we discussed about ways of making AI sustainable which includes using sustainable materials such as using abundant natural resources to couple an AI tool.
    In summary, we discussed about AI and sustainability for humans and our planet in years to come.

  • We have had many disscussions on how AI helps us like we had a debate among the students about the pros and cons of AI I was on the positive side and overall it was a fun and learning session

  • This lesson taught me about the different pros and cons of AI and if its sustainable or not. We had many discussions about divergent aspects of how AI is sustainable, how it works and what conditions you need to fulfill to even have the AI running. We learned much new and surprising information about AI and how much it actually takes to have it be stable enough to work. Even though our class came to the conclusion that AI is not sustainable enough yet, we still knew that it will keep on growing and learn new information every day. The most surprising fact that I learned was how much electronic waste AI produces over time. It was said that by 2030, AI will have produced about 40% of the current co2 emissions in if I remember correctly of the USA.

  • This lesson has taught me some important information that I should use in our daily life. I learnt how to differentiate between good and bad uses of AI. I have also seen how certain people use AI in a way that helps them. I've also seen how unfair AI is for certain countries is and how some countries are more developed than the others because of AI. I have learnt that AI can be useful to our environment in ways and bad for our environment in ways. In conclusion, Humankind has created a useful device, and in my opinion, is going the right way with it.

  • I think that rangers are allowed to go on AI because if they're tracking down an animal its good to have AI to help you find the animals that you're looking for and make sure that they're ok. This could lead to endangered animals not getting extinct. And that doctors would need it too to help people get better and they can stop illnesses spreading.

  • I firmly believe that the productivity of Artificial Intelligence can boost our workplaces which will benifit people in certain aspects reaching to a generation and era never ever expected. But if we look in long run this could also disrupt the sustainability of our environment.

    1. Please can you tell me how AI could help our workplaces?

  • This lesson taught me that AI very well known has several advantages to our ongoing world still like every coin has 2 sides it can also be harmful to our environment but it's up to us how do we use it !!

    1. Please can you tell me the advantages of AI that you learned in your lesson?

  • A few days ago we had a proper discussion about AI and its Sustainability but even before that we would constantly talk about it as it is becoming an increasingly hot topic.
    I have to say that during the actual discussion we had i changed my mind quite a bit, before it i was basically all for AI and didnt see what the big deal was.
    Actually getting informed about the topic has made me change my mind and realise the negative effects it has on our world and its people.

  • I agree because, Ai can be useful in predicting the future, problem solving, ideas coming from different angles that we ourselves have never thought of, without AI our lives wouldn't be this simple. But that doesn't change the fact that AI is harming our planet and ourselves notonly health wise. People and children nowadays rely to much on AI which makes them lazy. The ozone layer is depleting because of the CO2 emitted from AI, and the amount of enery being wasted that could be used to create omitting better. I don't think AI is very sustainable yet.

  • This lesson taught me a lot about AI such as who should be using it and what it means. The lesson was super fun and I learnt so much, I think AI is important because the world's population is rising so we need a quicker way to help us do things and I think AI is the perfect thing. Although it uses a lot of energy if we use it in a sustainable way I think it will be fine. We debated about who should be using it, it was interesting to hear other people's ideas. I thought AI was a good thing but I learned that it can use a lot of energy.

  • I actually didn't take a lesson yet but lately I've been watching a lot of videos about AI so maybe I could help with a small, simple comment.

    So now let's talk about first point which is: who should and who shouldn't use AI. Well in my opinion, starting from 9-year-old kids could use AI because younger than that, it will have two negative things first one:it's going to make our eyes, head and brain hurt and not making us concentrate on a lot of things from a lot of screen and the second thing: they are not Wise like us so they may search for inappropriate things so since this is not acceptable for their age, I guess Google should make something when you enter an account the age should be older than 9 years old or 9 years old exactly.

    Now let's talk about our second point which is: How helpful and unhelpful is AI to our earth planet. First, let's talk about how helpful is AI. AI has many positive and negative reactions but let's talk first about the positive ones. First, it helps us search about anything that we do not understand and also has a good storage which when we ask about something twice, the second time it gives it to us really fast but the negativity is that sometimes it has bugs and also sometimes Google gets the wrong search that we search about and sometimes we should search on Google really precisely to get the thing that we want so this is a negative thing.

    In conclusion, I'd like to say that these points that I talked about I hope they are helpful for everybody who reads them.
    Thanks for reading my comment, Topical talk😊(⁠^-^⁠).

  • I think AI is good so you can learn how to work and it helps you to be better in the future.

    1. Hi jolly_nature do you think AI is better at teaching than other ways you can learn things?

  • Ai is when machines and a robot that is like a human and acts like a human

  • I think that AI is sustainable because it uses lots of electricity and it uses so much electricity that you can charge a phone to 50% . I also think that people use their devices too much and they should have a time limit so you can save your time and be wise or use your time when it reloads . I think people would be smart and save it .

  • During our class discussion, I was very intrigued to see how the class felt about who takes priority in being able to justify their use of AI. I hadn't considered the perspective of the farmer using AI to ensure growth of crops as I felt that due to the farming culture being such an old one it didn't need to utilise AI, however, as modern circumstances cause shifts in how the growth functions, the farmer must also take initiative to change their methods to more progressive ones.
    The mention of external influences made me realise that it wouldn't just be a local community suffering from the lack of food it may be a national or even an international loss. As a farmer is crucial in a human's ability to stay alive they will be understandably in more need than a student that uses AI to create resources. Although, I felt that it would be unfair to not argue whether a farmer (the one that provides us with food to live) and the doctor (the one that saves the lives) have the same importance as each other because they both play significant roles in ensuring welfare is upheld.
    In no means should the doctor primarily rely on using AI to diagnose patients as AI is not always accurate, if the medical profession was to use AI in developing medicine or methods to improve healthcare for patients then it would definitely be just.

  • This lesson taught me that there are different opinions about Artificial intelligence.
    For example Sage lenier who is a climate activist stated that she is against AI
    And that it can end up hurting our planet . On the other hand kate Brandett says
    that AI can provide us with better information about the climate.I even heard some
    People say that AI will take other jobs but that AI will generate more jobs.People have even said that AI will help with their jobs and that it has made it easier. We even got to go in the shoes of a real adults and see which jobs need help from AI.I Also learned that an AI search takes 2.9 watt-hours , and that training just 1 AI model can release over 285 kilograms of carbon. In the end i relay enjoyed this lesson and learned a lot of new things

    1. Interesting ideas. What is your opinion of AI?

  • This lesson taught me about the good and the bad of AI. In this lesson we looked at 3 different quotes from 3 different people. One was from Sage Leiner that said “AI is useless and unsustainable. It has a million negatives. It is terrible for the planet… I think it’s just a waste of emission.” Sage Leiner believes that AI is bad and is even worse for the planet. Meanwhile Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has a different perspective; his quote says “ AI will change the way people work,learn,travel,get healthcare,and communicate with each other …I’m excited about the impact that AI will have.” In Bill Gates' perspective he thinks AI will change the way people do things. My opinion states that AI is bad. With these 2 perspectives I have thought about changing my opinion.

    1. Interesting ideas. Why do you think AI is bad?

  • This lesson taught me that AI can be bad or good, well it depends who uses AI and how they use AI. For example, Sage Lenier climate activist thinks that AI is useless and is really bad from her perspective meanwhile two people, Kate Brandit who is a chief sustainability officer at google which uses AI thinks that AI can be a good thing. Bill Gates, who is a co-founder of Microsoft, thinks that AI can be a good thing as well but the reason that the two people who work use AI in the work think that AI is good from their perspective. I agree with all of them because there are good sides and bads sides no matter what you do or what it is there is always a bad side.

  • This lesson taught me that the next step of humanity is to develop a way to use AI in a sustanable way.One of the ideas i was thinking is to use the water that uses AI to water plants or to do other chores that involves the use of water.An other idea is a closed circle arround the AI server.Using Solar panels we could feed the servers with green energy and with the water that is normaly discarded ,could be used to clean the solar panels filled of dust.

  • Hello Topical Talk,
    This lesson taught me that everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although artificial intelligence has many good aspects that helps us solve many problems in a short time and accomplishes many tasks with less effort, it still poses a danger to the planet because of the pollution it causes to the environment. Because of the high levels of carbon dioxide, which has the greatest impact on climate change, this prompts us to think about finding solutions to this problem. All my classmates were proposing good ideas. One of my classmates suggested the necessity of relying on our human skills and reducing the use of artificial intelligence except in difficult matters only. The other said that it is possible to reduce the level of carbon dioxide by using a lot of green plants. To conculde, my classmates and I enjoyed all of the interesting informations that we learned in this lesson. So from my point of view, we have to spread awareness of reducing the use of AI.
    Thanks 🌺

  • In my opinion using AI is a good thing, as you are able to expand your knowledge and it would help you to get you r school work done. However, it is important to remember that some information on the internet can be incorrect and sometimes even deliberately manipulated by humans. Therefore we must check which other resource we have to cross check our data. We need to use any technological advances responsibly thinking of our future generations and that includes AI.

  • Hello we have completed the lesson about AI in school.. And t starting my teacher asked a question that how Man guys say AI is useful for us and how many of you say not useful.. 50 percent of the students raised their hand for useful.. And I raised for not useful because of AI we humans spoiled our life.. When AI was invented we started to use it for 24 hrs.. And even where we need to thinkand give answers we are using AI and not showcasing our talent.. Because of this I raised my hand for not useful.. But then when the lesson was taught I totally agreed that 90 percent AI is useful and only 10 percent is how we handle it.. Even if AI is not invented we would suffer a lot without contacting to our parents in emergency situation, weather forecast, etc.. I say AI is a useful technology and another 10 percent depends on us how we handling it..
    Thank you!

  • When we discussed Elon musk we talked about how he posted things about trump on his Twitter page and my classmate compared it to propaganda.

  • This lesson taught me , all of those things for artificial intelligence and also I taught from it that that AI be used for unusual things and useful things and use unuseful thing like it cheats and copy and say that this is your own and useful to know more information and it to make you more ready for test education in life a learning you more things thank you for listening and make a many things is easier thank you for reading .

  • My class lesson was extremely useful and significant, and I learned that AI is both sustainable and not sustainable at the same time and this depends about who is using it and how it is used furthermore do people have a limit on using AI. Then my teacher discussed with us these questions and factors and how they effect on the sustainability of AI.

    Finally, I enjoyed a lot in this day moreover I gained a lot of information.
    THANK YOU, TOPICAL TALK.

  • This lesson taught me to realize the real impact of the use of AI, before I didn't know the waste generated by technologies, being ignorant about this problem that involves the environment and our life quality.

  • I didn't know that AI has such the negative side like making lots of waste of energy and water. And I also thought that AI has much bigger negative side. It could be used for weapons of war. If it become a real, perhaps a war will be more aggressive and dangerous. And it will become longer to be ended. So I think most of country should decide not to use AI for weapon which kills people. But on the other side, it can be used for saving lives. By using AI, people can protect themselves from danger. It can be said not only in the war but also in our daily life. Such as by using on car, people can get safer drives with AI.

    I learned at this class, AI has both negative and positive aspects. By using AI, people can could get convenient life but it might be bad for our planet. If situation was different like country culture or people ages, their opinion must be different as well. For example, our group at this lesson thought scientists and doctors should use AI the most. But at the comment here, someone say the farmer should use the most. I thought it because of country difference. If agriculture was taken on a role of the most of jobs, people feel close to farmer, probably think farmer is important job for our foods or economy and it needs AI. I thought by building on another ideas, we can understand why they say such different opinions and can guess much deeper and deeper. This is one of the important points of discussing and learning about these topics I think.

    Thank you for inviting me and I really enjoyed this lesson.

  • From what I've seen previously, I was able to clarify my misconceptions about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it also changed my perspective and the concept I had of it, since I thought it was only causing harm to our planet and society. Now, I believe that AI is something useful and necessary for the vast majority of us, practically in most of its aspects. However, I still maintain that AI is causing harm to educational life in our country and in the world.

    Today, I would also like to share how this is affecting my country, since I have been able to evidence how many people become dependent on it to consult their doubts. But, although I later reflect and think that AI is also necessary, since it can help us innovate and grow in the scientific and medical fields, as long as it is used responsibly and not excessively. We cannot have 100% effectiveness that all the information is correct. Although I believe that using AI responsibly will continue to help us create new experiences and learning in the area being researched.

  • Yes, I did the classroom lesson. In the lesson, we all had different roles ( I was a farmer) and we had to argue about why we should be able to use AI the most. For example, if you were a doctor, you could say, I should be able to use AI because machines, for example x-ray machines help me see what is wrong with a patient. These machines use AI, so without AI, I wouldn't be able to give people x-rays and see their broken bones, and other things. We went around the room three times to discuss with three different people. After this, we had split up into groups of 2, took all the jobs, and ordered them top to bottom based on who should have AI the most, to who should have AI the least. In my group we had the doctor at the top, and the online shopper at the bottom. This lesson taught me to look at the perspectives of different people and see how having AI would affect them, and how not having AI would affect them. This lesson made me see all the people in the world that use AI and how they use it.

  • One of our good debates that happened during the lesson was whether the scientists or the banker should be allowed to use AI.Me being the scientist thought that I should be allowed to use AI because we would need it to see if a natural disaster[tornado/hurricane] is coming so we can tell people to prepare or else a lot of deaths will be caused by that disaster.However the banker said that he should be allowed to use AI because the AI can help him detect fraud and scam and with the help of AI their will not be a stock crash and that really made me think differently because I didn't think about it like that. So I changed my mind a little bit but I still believed that scientists should be allowed to use AI. We both had good points so in the end our teacher decided that a Banker and Scientist are equally as important and need to use AI.

  • This learning taught me to maintain proper use of AI and obtain more information about it, how to use it and when not, above all, the idea that technological advances are affecting us so much to a point where we are going to be very weak in many ways, especially when doing something productive or having a sustainable progression in life , it studying , working, helping the environment and not sitting idle looking at electronic devices, also the fact that a few years technology will dominate us, so it is time to maintain proper use of AI and devices.

  • In my class lesson, I was so knowledgeable, and I learned that AI has both advantages and disadvantages and really it was a great lesson

    1. Can you tell me the advantages and the disadvantages that you learnt about?

      1. I believe that AI has both advantages and disadvantages.

        Firstly, AI can help us in agriculture, makes cures and medicines, helps scientists to diagnose diseases, helps countries in wars, helps parents, helps students, provides great information and a lot of many things

        On the other hand, AI can be not sustainable. AI can provide wrong information to people, produce the greenhouse gases like CO2, makes people lazy and can make people independent

        To conclude, we must use AI when we really need it.

        I hope you gave me a star. Thank you for your reply.

  • This lesson introduced me to some of the bad things about ai and also how ai could help in the medical field as well.

  • This lesson taught me a lot of things that i didn't know about AI and how is it harming to the planet and make me understand why we should we be more carefull and reduce the use of AI, i think that AI is making more harm than good to the planet, but if we start to use AI for things that can help to evolve and bw better to our planet

  • This lesson taught me the impact of AI in all kinds of areas, also the relevance of sustainability and the environment in technological advances like AI. I learned a lot about priorities, opinions and points of view from many people around the world, discussing and sharing ideas to make a better world for the future, our future.
