Students are introduced to the energy impact of the internet and imagine what the world will be like in the future. 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.
Inspire: Students come to conclusions based on their readings, then redraw their image of the future, incorporating key takeaways from this lesson.
