Tenured ESL Faculty & Distance Education Coordinator 

City College of San Francisco

Hello! On this site I am sharing the Generative AI resources that I have researched in my role as CCSF Distance Education Coordinator.

Here you will find:

NEW Spring 2024: The 2024 National Educational Technology Plan was released by the U.S. Department of Education in January 2024. This is the policy framework for edtech in the USA. The Office of Educational Technology  also released their AI Policy in May 2023. 

Virtual Goody Bag with AI Resources

This document accompanied our January 2024 Flex Panel Presentation, "Generative AI in Higher Ed: Navigating between Hype  and Doom" and provides practical examples of the wording of syllabus language, the design of norms and policies, resources on academic integrity and lots more.

Fall 2023: AI Detection Tools Research

This document provides research on the limitations of AI detectors, including Turn It In. This sampling is intended to help the college make data-informed decisions about how we do or do not invest in and incorporate AI detectors. Compiled by Dayamudra Dennehy, September 2023.

I am learning and curious. Reach out to me with thoughts & inspirations at: adennehy@ccsf.edu

EQUITY IN AI: BIAS & ACCOUNTABILITY

Joy Buolamwini: The Algorithmic Justice League

The Algorithmic Justice League’s mission is to raise awareness about the impacts of AI, equip advocates with empirical research, build the voice & choice of the most impacted communities, & galvanize researchers, policy makers, & industry practitioners to mitigate AI harms & biases. It's building a movement to shift the ecosystem towards equitable & accountable AI.

Sinead Bovell: AI & Racism

Sinead Bovell discusses a future with Artificial Intelligence for February's Black History Month. Bovell says, "To me, Black futurism means co-creating spaces in the future that work for everyone, but especially Black folk, and that we play a leading role in designing those futures." Some key takeaways from the article:

Bovell states, "We all have the right to co-create [the future], regardless of what our backgrounds are. I want people to feel like they have the right to show up into any room where their future is being decided upon. "Let's interrogate this technology. Let's not have this be a closed conversation with the seven people that happen to be coding it. Let's support more voices into it. Even if the conversations are scary, we're having them because there's a lot of technologies where that wasn't the case."

AI & Equity Sessions at SxSwEDU 2024 

Equity Concerns in AI & Education: AI is everywhere and making sure that everyone has a fair shot at learning is now a top concern. This session takes a deep dive into the tricky world of Equity Issues in AI and Education. This session explores the many challenges that pop up when AI and education mix, talks about some ways to solve these challenges, and shares ideas that make the use of AI in education more fair, inclusive, and accessible.


Fact or Fiction? Media Literacy in the Digital Age: With another presidential election looming around the corner and political chatter as fractured as ever, how can everyday media consumers (with probably way too much Twitter screentime) discern fact from fiction? In a media landscape where facts are fake and human rights seem to be up for debate, learn media literacy techniques and countermeasures from industry experts and how to employ them in your own community.


AI: Avoiding the Next Digital Divide: Could the emerging use of AI in schools be the next digital divide? This panel explores the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and education equity and its impact on students of color and other students from low-income backgrounds. In this session, attendees learn steps to ensure academic tools, pedagogies, and content reflects the broad cultural and neurodiversity of student populations and ways to prevent the emergence of a new digital divide.


Building the Next Gen of Black AI Leaders: Alliance4ai was founded on the premise that skills training alone will not diversify & expand our AI developer pool for added value & decreased harm to Black communities worldwide. This session discusses the additional elements required to engage diverse learners to become emerging AI leaders, build tech & leadership skills, & promote a mission based AI for good worldview. We’ll also talk about the challenges African communities face in AI development & propose research & experience based solutions that can be scaled easily with community based leadership strategies.

Meaningful & Safe AI: Policy & Research Perspectives: An interactive conversation about generative AI integrates 2 distinctive and powerful vantage points—policy and research—to help participants make sense of the buzzing, blooming confusion of emerging trends in AI use. A major policy leader reflects on listening sessions and policy activity arising from “AI and the Future of Teaching and Learning” and the “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights.” An expert researcher share sinsights from major research initiatives addressing efficacy, equity and ethics of generative AI. What resources can guide educator's exploration of generative AI?

Dayamudra's Re-Cap of SxSwEDU 2024

Lance Eaton’s AI Equity Acknowledgement: This presentation was prepared using generative AI tools. I acknowledge that many generative AI do not respect the individual rights of authors and artists, and ignore concerns over copyright and intellectual property in the training of the system.  

Additionally, I acknowledge many AI systems are trained in part through the exploitation of precarious workers in the Global South.

Also, I recognize that the structures to support the expanse of AI rests on continued large-scale extraction of resources from environments in methods that have long effects on the local populations and in the end, many of those resources (i.e. hardware) are often causing further harm in global climate change and environmental degradation; particularly and directly for the Global South and communities that are historically and presently marginalized.  

In this work I specifically used Generative AI as a collaborative exercise and to test out some ideas about its usage, better understand the tool, and may also demonstrate some of the ways it generates answers.  (Inspired by Lawrie Phipps and Donna Lanclos's "An Offering")
