Year 10 Computer Science Students Learn About the Exciting Potential of Generative AI

The Year 10 Computer Science students have been exploring some really cool new technology recently. They’ve been learning about Generative AI, which is a fancy way of saying that computers can now create human-like responses to questions and prompts. They've been trying out some websites like ChatGPT(Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) and MidJourney (An Artificial Intelligence Painting Tool), which use these algorithms to generate conversations and even unique images!

最近，我校10年级的学生们在计算机科学课上一直在探索一种非常酷炫的新技术—"生成式人工智能"，即计算机可以对问题和提示做出类似人类的回答。学生们尝试了近期比较流行的一些网站，如ChatGPT（人工智能技术驱动的自然语言处理工具）和MidJourney（一款人工智能制图工具），这些网站能够使用算法来生成对话，甚至是独特的图像！

Under the guidance of their teacher, Mr Sean, the students have been having a blast testing out different websites and tools, asking questions, and getting feedback from AI-generated responses. They’ve also been discussing the pros and cons of using AI in education.

在Sean老师专业的指导下，学生们兴致勃勃地测试了不同的网站和工具，提出问题，并从人工智能生成的答复中获得反馈，这让他们感到兴奋。另外，学生们还热烈地讨论了人工智能在教育中使用的利弊。

Ricky Jin is adamant that AI cannot replace teachers, as they play a critical role in creating a positive and supportive learning environment, which is essential for student success. But AI can instead be used to provide personalised learning experiences based on student levels.

Ricky Jin坚持认为，人工智能不能取代教师，因为教师们在创造积极的学习环境方面发挥着关键作用，这将有效帮助学生取得成功。

 人工智能的优点在于，它能够根据学生的需求提供个性化的学习方案。

Anna Liao believes AI can help students revise by generating flashcards, study guides, past paper questions, and, chapter summaries.

Anna Liao认为人工智能可以通过生成文字卡片、学习指南、历年试题和章节总结来帮助学生复习。

Hridita Nawrin on the other hand was concerned about student privacy, as these AI models are trained on huge volumes of data and if the data had personal details, it is at risk of being exposed.

Hridita Nawrin则考虑到了隐私方面的问题，因为人工智能的模型是建立在大量数据上的，如果数据中包含个人信息，有可能存在被泄露的风险。

Generative AI is a technology that is becoming more and more popular in education. It might sound scary at first, but there are actually a lot of benefits to using it in the classroom. Here are some of the ways that it can help students:

生成式人工智能是一项在教育领域越来越受欢迎的技术。它一开始可能让你觉得很陌生，但在课堂上运用它也有着许多好处。以下是它可以帮助学生的一些方式： 

01

Get Creative: ChatGPT and MidJourney can help students come up with new ideas and designs based on their input. This is great for students in art, design, and creative writing classes.

获得创意：ChatGPT和MidJourney可以帮助学生根据他们输入的关键词生成新的想法和设计。这对艺术设计和创意写作课的学生有很大帮助。

02

Problem-Solving Skills: ChatGPT can help students solve complex problems by generating suggestions and solutions based on the input given to it. Midjourney can also help students solve problems related to visual design by generating images that fit specific requirements.

解决问题：ChatGPT可以帮助学生解决复杂的问题，根据输入的要求生成建议和解决方案。Midjourney还可以帮助学生解决与视觉设计相关的问题，生成符合特定要求的图像。

03

Language Learning: ChatGPT can help students practice different languages by generating conversations and responding to questions. This can help students improve their language skills, particularly in areas such as vocabulary, grammar, and syntax.

语言学习：ChatGPT可以帮助学生通过对话和回答问题来练习不同的语言。这能够帮助学生提高他们的语言技能，特别是在词汇、语法和句法等方面。

04

Research Skills: ChatGPT can help students gather information on different topics by generating relevant and accurate responses to their questions. This is really useful for students who need to conduct research for a project or assignment.

研究技能：ChatGPT可以帮助学生收集不同课题的信息，还能对他们的问题作出准确的回答。这对需要为课程项目或作业进行研究的学生来说，是非常有用的。

05

Accessibility: ChatGPT and Midjourney can be used to support accessibility for students with disabilities by generating text or images that can be easily understood by those with visual or cognitive impairments. This can help students participate more fully in their education and feel more included in the classroom.

无障碍学习：ChatGPT和Midjourney能够支持无障碍的学习环境，生成视觉或认知障碍者容易理解的文字或图像，充分帮助这些学生更好地学习，更快地融入到课堂中。

But, as with any new technology, there are some concerns that need to be addressed. Plagiarism is one concern because students may be tempted to use generative AI to produce work that is not entirely their own. Another concern is that generative AI is only as unbiased as the data it is trained on, and if the data is biased, then the AI may produce biased output. Finally, some generative AI tools may collect personal data from users, which can be concerning for students and parents who value their privacy.

然而，与任何新技术一样，生成式人工智能也存在一些需要解决的问题。抄袭就是其中之一，学生可能会被诱惑使用生成式人工智能来制作不完全属于自己的作品。另一个问题是，生成式人工智能只能基于无偏向性的数据进行计算，如果数据有偏差，那么最终的结果可能也会存在偏差。最后，一些生成式人工智能工具可能会收集用户的个人信息，这可能会引起学生和家长对于隐私的担心。

As teachers, it's important to talk about these concerns with our students and make sure they use these tools responsibly and with integrity.  If anyone has any questions or concerns about generative AI, we encourage you to talk to Mr Sean or any other teacher for guidance.

作为教师，与学生探讨这些问题并确保他们负责任地、诚实地使用这些工具是至关重要的。如果学生对生成式人工智能有任何的问题或担忧，我们鼓励你与Sean老师或其他老师进行咨询来获得指导。
