ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: TRENDS, RISKS, AND POTENTIAL BENEFITS
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The landscape of AI is constantly evolving, and new considerations will emerge alongside
technological advancements. Staying informed and actively engaging in the conversation is
crucial for shaping a future where AI aligns with our values and strengthens our societies. As we
venture into the future of AI, it is crucial to approach its development and deployment with
responsibility and foresight. Robust ethical frameworks, continuous dialogue between
technologists and policymakers, and public education are essential to ensure that AI benefits all
of humanity. The potential of AI for solving global challenges like climate change and
improving human well-being is immense, but it is equally important to address the risks and
ensure that this powerful technology is used for good.

Step 1. (For all options): Using the provided Artificial Intelligence: Trends, Risks, and
Potential Benefits Template, utilize the KWL strategy to identify and reflect on what
you currently know and want to know about artificial intelligence (AI). As you complete
the remaining steps listed below, you will then seek information to fill in the gaps in
your knowledge and understanding of AI. Notice the KWL Chart has 10 rows within
which to do your work. In this first step, complete seven or more lines with what you
Know and Want to Know. As you conclude the entire assignment, circle back and
complete the Learned column with brief statements of what you have learned and a
citation for each in the Evidence column.
Step 2. (For Options 1 and 2): In the Artificial Intelligence: Trends, Risks, and Potential
Benefits Template, identify and define ten key terms surrounding Artificial
Intelligence, providing a definition verified with citations provided within the Evidence
column of the provided table. At least two sources must be cited for each term. Seek
terms that you were previously unfamiliar with.
(For Option 3 only): For candidates completing Option 3, key terms will be embedded
into your sector study analysis in Step 3. You may delete the table from the template
document for Step 2 if you have chosen Option 3 if you desire.
Step 3. (For Option 1 only): Navigate to the Google Gemini website home page provided as an
assignment resource in Canvas. Type the prompt, “Give a brief history of the explosion
of Artificial Intelligence” to generate a response.
1. Copy and paste the response into a separate Word document.
2. Under the Review tab in Word, turn on the Track Changes feature. Use this to
track any corrections you make.
3. Research and verify the accuracy of the resulting statement generated by
Google Gemini. If you identify any inaccuracies, provide accurate corrective
statements with supporting evidence from the literature. At least two sources
must be cited for any corrective information you add.
4. When you submit the assignment, provide this separate Word document
alongside the submission of the template. You may delete Step 3 from the
template document if you so desire since it is submitted separately.
(For Option 2 only): In this step, you will use attention-grabbing design to create three
visual representations of data surrounding the phenomenon of Artificial Intelligence.
1. Using the ten terms and definitions you identified in Step 2, generate a word
cloud where the size of the terms reflects the frequency of the term’s use
within the space of artificial intelligence and/or the importance of each term
within the field of AI.Insert the word cloud image into the Artificial
Intelligence: Trends, Risks, and Potential Benefits Template. Here are four
apps to consider using to create your word cloud:
Word Art
WordItOut
TagCrowd
Vizzlo
