The World as Information
Artificial intelligence as a verifiable research tool
A growing share of the information we use passes through artificial intelligence systems, often with no way of tracing where it comes from. The module teaches students to use these tools while keeping control of the sources. They build a small documentary archive, recording the origin of each piece of information, query it through artificial intelligence tools and verify the answers obtained, distinguishing documented data from inferences. It is a skill that serves every subject, and life beyond school.
