Question: A history educator integrates an artificial intelligence tool into their curriculum. They input student names and academic records, then ask the tool to generate personalized learning plans for each student. Which potential issues related to the use of AI does this scenario describe?
- Privacy and security concerns
- Hallucinations and unreliable information
- Plagiarism
- Unfair bias and inaccurate outputs
Explanation
Privacy and security concerns arise when personal student information is entered into an AI tool. Student names and academic records are sensitive data that require careful handling, approved tools, and compliance with school data policies. Generative AI outputs may support personalization, but the input data must be protected before any instructional benefit is considered. Responsible use requires limiting sensitive information and reviewing how the tool stores, processes, or shares data.
Why the other options are incorrect
Hallucinations and unreliable information is incorrect because the main issue is sensitive student data, not fabricated output.
Plagiarism is incorrect because the scenario does not involve presenting AI-generated work as original student or educator work.
Unfair bias and inaccurate outputs is incorrect because the described risk centers on privacy and data protection.
