Lesson 3: Hallucination Detective

AI for Education

Teach students about the risks of over-relying on AI chatbots using this fast-paced, hands-on lesson. In this lesson, students play the role of a ‘Hallucination Detective’, investigating how and why generative AI chatbots sometimes produce answers that contain incorrect or made-up information. To do this, students examine a real-life case study and then test and fact-check an AI chatbot’s answers for inaccuracies or made-up information, known as hallucinations. Lastly, students create a short presentation on the risks of chatbot hallucination and propose methods to combat it.

Lesson 2: The Mind of a Machine

In this lesson, students explore what generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is, and how it is trained to respond to human prompts. Students then use the game ‘Celebrity Heads’ to compare ChatGPT, a Generative AI (GenAI) Chatbot, to human intelligence. Students then synthesize their learning by evaluating what ChatGPT’s performance in Celebrity Heads tells us about the strengths and limitations of GenAI today.
