Designing Fair AI Rules
Design thinking applied to AI ethics: if you were designing an AI system, what rules would you give it? Who should it help? What should it not be allowed to do?
Quick check
If the learner was designing an AI assistant for their school, could they think of rules to make sure it was fair and helpful for everyone?

Topic // Mastery
What mastery looks like
- Propose at least three rules for a hypothetical AI system they are designing
- Explain why AI designers need to think about who might be harmed, not just who benefits
- Describe one real example of AI being used responsibly and one where it was not
