AI Ethics: An Empirical Study on the Views on Middle School Student
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Studies in Education and Social Studies (ICSES) (Antalya, Turkey, Oct 20-23, 2023)
In today's technology, there are rapid advances in the field of artificial intelligence. With the increasing involvement of artificial intelligence in daily activities, great changes are taking place in our habits. At this point, the necessity of educating students in accordance with the age of artificial intelligence emerges. Students' acquaintance with current technologies requires that the education provided is up to date. From these developments artificial intelligence, and its effects on society should be conveyed to students. The aim of the study is to implement the curriculum developed for middle school students to learn about the ethical dimension of artificial intelligence and to reveal students' views on the subject. Within the framework of the Artificial Intelligence and Ethics curriculum, 25 sixth grade students were trained. At the end of the training, a semistructured interview form was applied to the students. Students' views on the ethical dimension of artificial intelligence were revealed. As a result, education has been contributed with an artificial intelligence and ethics curriculum suitable for middle school students. In general, the approach of including the ethical dimension of artificial intelligence in education shows that middle school students can evaluate artificial intelligence as a personal and social issue beyond just having knowledge about its functioning.
