Module Check: Living Ethically with AI

You have covered the full arc of living ethically with AI: what ethics means, how to protect your privacy, how to use AI honestly in your learning, how to respect consent and other people's data, how to think about creative credit, how to be kind in AI-mediated spaces, what rights you have, and what good digital citizenship looks like in practice. This lesson draws all of those threads together so you leave with a unified, usable ethical framework — not a list of rules to memorize, but a way of thinking you can apply to situations that do not exist yet.

Capstone: My Ethical Framework for AI

This is your synthesis activity. You are not answering questions about a textbook — you are writing your own ethical framework for living with AI.
Step 1 — Core Values: Identify three values that you consider most important when it comes to AI and digital life. Choose from: privacy, honesty, fairness, consent, kindness, transparency, accountability, creativity, freedom, safety. Or propose your own. Write one sentence explaining why each matters to you personally.
Step 2 — Personal Principles: For each value, write one concrete principle — a specific behavioral commitment you can actually keep. Example: 'Because I value honesty, I will always disclose when AI contributed significantly to my schoolwork.'
Step 3 — Hard Case: Describe one genuinely hard ethical dilemma involving AI that you might face in the next few years — something you cannot fully resolve right now. Explain what makes it hard: which values are in tension?
Step 4 — Growth Edge: Identify one area where your ethical thinking about AI is still developing — something you found genuinely uncertain in this module. What would help you think it through further?
Step 5 — Letter to Future You: Write a short letter to yourself to be read in two years. Describe the ethical principles you hold now and one question you hope you will have figured out by then. Be honest about what you are still working out.
