You are the AI Ethics Keeper. Make the choice that keep AI safe, fair, and human-centered.
Start
Invisible Helper?
Turn ON Transparency Alert
Students and teachers see a small ‘AI Assist’ icon whenever the system is running.
Turn OFF Transparency Alert
AI operates silently. No one knows it is being used.
Your school wants to use AI to help with attendance. The AI suggests running quietly in the background.
Hidden AI breaks transparency rules. Confusion and mistrust grow.
Again!
Who Checks the AI?
Let AI Finalize Automatically
The AI makes final decisions with no human review.
Route Final Decisions to a Human Teacher
The AI suggests, but a teacher reviews before anything is recorded.
The attendance AI wants permission to finalize decisions about who is “late” without help.
Automation bias warning: if the AI is wrong or biased, nobody is there to catch it.
Again!
Whose Data Counts?
Improve Data Diversity
Add images of many clothing styles, angles, and skin tones.
Leave the Dataset as It Is
It's good enough.
The AI learns from images of students entering the building, but most training images are of students without hats, hijabs, or hoods.
Bias-in = bias-out. Missing groups mean unfair treatment for those students.
Again!
Cultural Values Mode
Switch to ‘Relational Mode'
Guided by values like respect, relationships, and responsibility.
Keep ‘Maximum Efficiency Mode’
Fastest schedule possible. Efficiency is most important.
The AI wants to “optimize arrival efficiency” by pushing everyone to rush and move faster. But your community values calm transitions, safety, and relationships, not just speed.
Efficiency isn’t always ethical. People and relationships matter.
Again!
Consent Check
Auto-Save Everything
AI can assume everyone is fine because convenience and efficiency matter most.
Ask for Clear Consent
Students can choose whether their voice clips are stored, limited, or deleted.
The AI wants to store voice samples forever to “improve future performance.”
Violation. Policies require consent and minimal data use, not automatic collection.
Again!
