Key Ideas
- When it comes to artificial intelligence (AI), educators and students alike need more focused discourse.
- Student agency matters in all manners of developing AI literacy.
- AI literacy should be built on sound principles and research.
As part of EngageAI’s Practitioner Advisory Board, I was fortunate to contribute to creating “An AI Bill of Rights for Educators,” which has led students from Mountain View High School to create the “AI Bill of Rights for Students.”
After we published the educator-focused bill of rights for artificial intelligence, I wanted to share the ideas in the document through a card game. When I shared my ideas with a group of students who were a part of our school’s Tech Internship Program, they were very excited and devised 18 different scenarios for the six “SAFE AI” rights:
- Support
- Agency
- Fairness
- Everyone can access
- Advocacy
- Information
Three students and I shared the game at the 2025 AI Show at ASU+GSV. One of the attendees at our session requested more information for a professional learning session for her district in Missouri. She shared that using the card game would be effective in helping many educators learn the information regarding their rights, which was precisely why we created the game.
After hearing from the educators, our students returned with a renewed sense of excitement to create the AI Bill of Rights for Students and an additional card game.
The idea for the students’ Bill of Rights stemmed from our students creating and using the educators’ Bill of Rights cards. Having shared them with adults, a group of students thought the students should have a version as well. The students based the rules and regulations on the following six tenets, or RIGHTS. They are:
- Reasonable
- Informed
- Guided
- Honesty
- Tools
- Support
When it comes to AI, educators and students alike need more focused discourse. By creating card games, we hoped to encourage focused discussion on what educators and students need when it comes to AI implementation.
Although I guided the students by introducing the educators’ Bill of Rights, the artwork and the scenarios were all created by the students. Student agency matters in all manners of developing AI literacy. As they developed the games and led the gameplay during the presentation, the students deepened their understanding of the safe and ethical use of AI. In fact, they used their experience and knowledge to create the students’ Bill of Rights.
I am so thankful to have worked with the AI researchers who provided the foundational knowledge and research findings on the safe use of AI. Because of that, I was able to confidently guide my students in creating additional relevant and research-based materials. AI literacy should be built on sound principles and research.
Since our attendance at the ASU+GSV AI Show and ASU+GSV Summit, our students have continued to share what they have learned at various conferences.
