The AI Trust You add-on is designed to promote transparency and trust around AI usage in the classroom. This tool provides a structured way for students to document their use of AI in their assignments while giving teachers a framework to guide and monitor AI use in key assignments.
Purpose of the AI Trust You Add-On
Stanford research done with LBUSD middle and high school students revealed that both students and teachers felt uneasy about AI, leading to a negative culture of guilt and policing around its use. The goal of the AI Trust You add-on is to "flip the script" by fostering open dialogue, creating a common language, and encouraging integrity around AI usage.
In any Google Doc (in .org or .us), click on the 'Extensions' menu item , choose 'AI Trust You' then 'Build AI Trust & Trust Statement'. Follow the steps and you're done! Students follow these same steps once they've completed the assignment.
PRO TIP: since this tool is only in Docs. just create a new Doc, then use the 'copy to clipboard' option to use it for work in other formats, or to add to your Syllabus, or in Google Classroom.
