Teacher-only planning companion for AI Ethics and Bias. Use it to keep fairness, omission, and data authority visible when students critique AI outputs.
This companion works best when students have a real AI output in front of them. The worksheet gets much stronger when critique is tied to specific wording, omissions, and implied assumptions.
Systems shape how people and groups organise themselves: Rights, responsibilities, power, fairness.
The fairness check and recommendation scaffold help students name how AI outputs can advantage some groups while exposing others to misrepresentation, exclusion, or harm.
Te Mātaiaho Social Studies `TM-SS-3-U1`.
Students identify misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation in media and digital media texts by examining indicators such as emotional language, unreliable sources, misleading purpose, or manipulated or missing context.
Students interrogate AI outputs as digital texts, looking for omission, overconfidence, flattening of context, and misleading authority.
Te Mātaiaho English, Phase 4 Text Studies practices.
Explore perspectives, use evidence to form conclusions, and share ideas: Compare systems, map decisions, present new solutions.
The final recommendation asks students to move from critique into a better next step, which keeps the task active and solution-oriented rather than cynical.
Useful bridge into debate, policy, and design-response work.
