Title: A message that no one should have seen
Course: AI tools for students > Section: 2. Ethics and Digital Responsibility in AI use (SK)

An AI system report was inadvertently published in the school information system, which preliminarily recommends certain fields of study to some students. Your classmate notices that the recommendations of some girls and boys are significantly different – and he also notices that some of the recommendations clearly do not fit with the real abilities of the students. The news begins to spread among the students.

You are one of the few who downloaded it in time and you realize that its publication can affect trust in the system, the atmosphere in the classroom and maybe even the future of some classmates.

Assignment "Choose your path" for students in the classroom:

- Divide into groups.
- Read the story and decide which solution you would choose – and why.
- Here are the options:

1. You keep quiet and don't intervene. → No one will involve you in a problem, but the system may remain unfair.
2. You tell the class teacher. → This may lead to an internal review, but some classmates will be angry that you are "reporting".
3. You publish the information in the class group and open a discussion. → You open up an ethical topic, but you run the risk of the situation derailing or hurting someone.
4. You write an anonymous notice to the school management. → Management may take action, but you will not be able to influence the situation further.

- Try to estimate what consequences your decision could have.
- Each group will present its solution + argumentation in front of the class.

- BONUS: Try to create your own ethical story with 4 decision options in a group and let another group solve it.
