AI in Government - Building Dialogue

In this lesson from the Building Dialogue series, we look at the controversial issue of the growing role of AI in our lives and in government.

Through the lesson, students find out more about AI and its abilities to make logical decisions by watching a short video. They will also listen to people sharing their views about the role of AI in government.

They use techniques from dialogue building to explore each person’s beliefs in a neutral way. They then find out about the beliefs of their peers by asking open questions and listening.

Aims

To give students strategies for engaging in dialogue and improving understanding of complex issues.
