Some Thoughts About AI

If you use generative AI in the course of your work, please bear in mind the following:

  • Student names, addresses, images or other identifying information should not be put into a generative AI tool.
  • You are not guaranteed privacy or security while using an AI chatbot. Don’t say anything you would be uncomfortable sharing publicly.
  • AI tools are not, and will never be 100% accurate. Don’t use them as the only source for important information, and don’t use them to replace having another human being read over your work before you distribute it.
  • AI tools are not consistent enough to be used as an assistive technology without the direction of a Speech and Language pathologist or similar professional.
  • You are responsible for anything you create using AI and any decisions you make using AI.

Here are some thoughts about AI from people who are smarter than us:

Workplace Hazards

When you are at work, you have the responsibility to report workplace hazards.

If you are concerned that the normal course of your duties will put you at risk of physical or psychological injury, and report the hazard to your supervisor, your supervisor has a responsibility to remove the hazard or develop an effective plan to keep you safe.

You cannot face discipline due to reporting a hazard.

Your employer cannot simply replace you with a different employee.

If your employer doesn’t resolve the hazard, you have the right to refuse the unsafe work.
