Looking at Other Experiences

In this lesson, we propose viewing artificial intelligence not as an end point, but as a starting point. The closed answers offered by a model can serve to spark questions, dismantle assumptions, and demonstrate that every statement is situated within a cultural and historical context. As we saw in the lesson "Teaching in Times of Artificial Intelligence," two complementary approaches are distinguished: learning about AI, analyzing it as an object of study—its scope, limits, and biases—and learning with AI, using it as a tool to build knowledge without replacing independent thought. Within this framework, the EDIA tool is revisited as a resource to explore stereotypes without requiring advanced technical expertise.

We also present classroom experiences that integrate AI from a reflective perspective: debates on career choice and gender, analysis of myths in sex education, and historical fact-checking activities using conversational assistants. In all cases, the focus is on the critical re-appropriation of information: not accepting the model's answer as a finished product, but transforming it into an original, contextualized, and well-reasoned production. The goal is to move toward a computational literacy that strengthens autonomy, critical thinking, and the collective construction of knowledge.

At the end of the lesson, you are invited to answer a few questions.
