After reading and analyzing articles about the impact of generative artificial intelligence on climate change and the environment, students share their conclusions and then re-imagine the world of the future with generative AI. Finally, students decide their personal approach to using GAI.
Inquire: Students watch a video on energy use and draw an image of what they believe the world will look like in 100 years.
Investigate: Students read articles about the pros and cons of the impact of generative artificial intelligence on the environment and climate change.
