Your own AI rules

AI is a powerful tool. Let's decide how you'll use it, by writing your own rules. A I can help people learn, create and solve problems. It can also be used to trick, copy and harm. The tool is the same. People decide. So in this lesson, you'll decide how you will use A I, by writing your own rules.

Big AI principles

Around the world, governments and companies have written principles for A I. Most say A I should be safe, so it doesn't harm people, fair, so it treats everyone fairly, honest, so people know when they're dealing with A I, private, so it protects personal data, and accountable, with people in charge. In 2021, all 193 member countries of UNESCO agreed on shared rules for the ethics of A I. Many countries, including Nigeria, have also been working on national plans for A I. Here are one student's rules. One. I check important facts before I believe or share them. Two. I never share passwords, PINs or private details with A I. Three. I say when I've used A I, and I follow my school's rules. Four. I use A I to learn, not to skip learning. And five. I won't use A I to trick, copy or hurt anyone.

Write your own rules

Now it's your turn. First, think about how you use A I, or how you'd like to. Second, write five rules, each starting with I will, or I won't. Third, make sure you include a rule about privacy, and one about honesty. And fourth, share them with your family, and put them somewhere you'll see them often.

Quick check

Quick check. Which is a good personal A I rule? I check important facts before I share them. Options: I check important facts before I share them; I believe everything AI says; I share my PIN if AI asks; I use AI to copy my friends' work.

Recap

People decide how A I is used. Good A I is safe, fair, honest, private and accountable. Write five rules, starting with I will, or I won't. And live by them. Well done for finishing Unit 6!
