The Canadian government recently introduced AI for All, a national artificial intelligence strategy that has two focuses: building trust and creating opportunity.
As Canada invests in AI literacy and adoption, schools and post-secondary institutions can play a central role in ensuring that future generations are prepared to discern appropriate, effective and ethical uses of the technology.
Over the past year and a half, as doctoral students in education, we have worked with more than 800 educators from schools, universities and professional learning settings to explore how they understand, discuss and respond to generative AI. Our experience with educators led to the development of the GenAI-dentity Survey and Workshop project, designed to help educators reflect on:
- Their comfort with genAI in day-to-day use;
- Assessment and educational practices;
- Their fears and challenges.
So far, more than 800 educators have filled out our survey whether through our guided workshop or on their own through by completing the module on our website.
