Seminar: Pedagogical Questions at the Intersection of Art, Bioethics, and AI
In this session from the "Seminars for Excellence in Teaching" at Baylor University, Dr. Leia Lamotte Necon explores how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping more than just the quality of student assignments—it is fundamentally altering the process of professional and moral formation.
Video Overview:
AI as a Mirror for Perception: Dr. Necon shares a fascinating experiment where students used AI to generate personas for medical simulations. Discover how AI helped students break out of their "social bubbles" to envision more realistic hospital demographics.
Embodied vs. Generative Learning: A comparison between traditional teaching methods (using art and physical drawing) and AI-generated outputs. Where is the line between a helpful tool and a "moral bypass" of critical thinking?
Theological Bioethics: Why AI struggles to navigate deep theological traditions and how instructors can use these limitations to encourage deeper student engagement.
Practical Strategies for Educators: How to integrate AI into a curriculum to teach students how to interrogate AI outputs rather than simply accepting them at face value.
