Risks of relying on AI for Cultural Knowledge

<p>In this episode, Trudy begins by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land where she lives and records, and explores the limitations of AI in handling cultural knowledge. Although timely with recent NAIDOC week activities, it’s important all year round that educators and school leaders are aware of the limitations when it comes to AI and cultural education. Trudy emphasises the importance of local knowledge and elder involvement in indigenous cultural education. She shares personal insights and practical steps for educators to responsibly incorporate AI tools as well as how to be aware of their limitations and edges.</p><p></p><p>Resources:</p><p></p><p>Find out more about the Trailblazing Schools Partnership here: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.trudygraham.com.au/trailblazing-schools/" target="_blank">https://www.trudygraham.com.au/trailblazing-schools/</a> </p><p></p><p>Find out more about the Leaders Learning Circle here <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.trudygraham.com.au/leaders-learning-circle/" target="_blank">https://www.trudygraham.com.au/leaders-learning-circle/</a></p><p><br /> Get your copy of AI in Action: Field Notes from School Leaders.
