20 information is protected by yourself as well as your workplace. As an example, explain that the class register has many identifiers such as full name, address, and date of birth and that you yourself always log off as soon as you are done with the roll call to protect learner data. Reflection: How familiar are you with your workplace copyright and privacy laws? How do they help protect your learners’ privacy? ☐ I understand the risks to learner privacy and take care to protect learner information online. ☐ I stay abreast of the relevant local, provincial, and federal regulations related to privacy and copyright and follow them. PI 4.5. Stay abreast of legal and ethical issues related to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. GenAI poses legal issues in several areas, including copyright, libel, privacy, and plagiarism. Questions are being raised about who owns the data that informs GenAI results, and who owns the results themselves. These results can be factually incorrect. When incorrect results impugn a person’s reputation and those results are shared, there is a risk of libel. GenAI is based on large datasets of text. When learners enter text into a prompt, such as an essay for writing feedback, that text becomes part of the dataset. This is a privacy risk if learners are including private personal information. GenAI tools can create “deepfakes,” using a person’s likeness to create fake images and video. This is a serious legal and ethical issue if the deepfakes are shared. GenAI is very good at completing assignments such as reports and essays. Instructors and programs should have guidelines consistent with regional and national policies in place for ethical use of these tools, including citing the use of GenAI when submitting assignments. As GenAI becomes increasingly incorporated into digital tools of all kinds, instructors should be aware of when and how they and their learners are interacting with it. Reflection: How are you staying abreast of GenAI tools and their uses? How are you guiding learners in using GenAI appropriately and safely? ☐ I understand that GenAI and other forms of AI are constantly evolving and expanding into more areas, embedded into more apps, and will continue to present new opportunities and risks. ☐ I pay attention to legal and ethical issues in GenAI that could affect me and my learners, such as privacy, false information and images, and easy generation of essays, reports, and images. ☐ I provide clear guidelines to learners about how they should and should not use GenAI in class work. ☐ I explain to learners how, when, and why I use AI to learners. ☐ I incorporate artificial intelligence as a topic in my planning to address its safe use and copyright and privacy issues.
