Human Connections in a Digital World

This session introduces an assignment where students are tasked with critically evaluating AI to reveal its limitations. To demonstrate the necessity for maintaining human intelligence over AI, students provide ChatGPT with a specific case study and prompt, then perform a forensic analysis of the output. Participants will see how this shift from "using" AI to "evaluating" AI moves the student from a passive consumer to a critical expert. By identifying hallucinations, inaccuracies, and lack of nuance in the AI’s response, students must rely on their own disciplinary knowledge to correct the record. This approach ensures human thinking remains the primary tool for validation, making the "human-in-the-loop" a visible and graded component of the learning process.
