I am optimistic that humans will start realising that content without intent is not art.
Tim Minchin
School leaders and teachers:
Understand the key themes arising in conversations about creative applications of AI
Investigate these ideas further
Identify how your school will respond to areas of concern
Embed your school responses in your digital learning policies and school procedures
Engage your school community in this understanding to maintain transparency and educate all stakeholders
Academics:
Identify gaps in the literature around how AI is being applied in the Arts to direct your research
Build on existing research to support school communities address concerns and align these creative applications with pedagogy
Industry Professionals and Developers:
Understand some of the key themes educators need to address
Develop tools that support educators to mitigate risks and promote effective learning in Arts subjects
Make free access tools to support teachers, parents and students in low-resourced contexts develop their creativity using AI technologies
You may want to conduct a professional learning session with your staff to provide an introduction to some of the key themes arising during AI in Education conversations. If you create/have a Digital Learning Committee/Leader or a Head of Arts in your school they could further explore these categories as a starting point for creating presentations for your school community.
As you review the literature and articles, consider these reflexive and reflective questions.
1. How will your understanding of these key themes impact your practice?
2. How will you use this information to guide your school communities towards creative use of AI?
