Lesson 4: Storytelling the Impact of AI
Overview
Storytelling transforms data into empathy. In this lesson, students will create original works of art, narrative, or media to explore how AI affects people. Through creative expression, students will show how design choices ripple through communities and they will imagine a more just and human-centered future for themselves and others.
After this lesson, students will be able to...
- Apply what they’ve learned about AI bias, ethics, and social impact to craft a story that humanizes technology.
- Use creative expression (e.g., writing, spoken word, visual art, video, podcast, or performance) to communicate the lived experience of AI’s effects.
- Illustrate the difference between intent and impact in AI design and propose more inclusive possibilities.
- Reflect on how storytelling can serve as a form of ethical design and social change.
