CREDS Seminar with Leon Furze

Teaching AI ethics

AI platforms are nowembedded in our classes, our students’ workflows, and our own professionalpractice - often whether we like it or not. But the ethical dimensions ofthese technologies, from bias and privacy to labour exploitation and emotional manipulation,are rarely discussed in ways that translate into teaching and policy. In thisscenario-based presentation, Dr Leon Furze draws on his open educationalresource Teaching AI Ethics (teachingaiethics.com) to guide facultythrough real-world case studies spanning nine ethical dimensions of AI: bias,environment, truth, copyright, privacy, data, emotions, human labour, andpower. Participants will examine scenarios grounded in recent events, includingcontent moderation labour practices, student data collection, AI-generatedmisinformation in government, and the rise of emotionally manipulative socialchatbots. Throughout the session, participants will explore how these ethicalissues connect to their own disciplines, consider how to bring these conversationsinto their classrooms, and identify implications for institutional AI policiesand academic integrity practices. Participants will leave with practicalapproaches they can use immediately, along with access to theopen-access Teaching AI Ethics eBook and resource collection.
