What is true? What is safe? What does it mean for society? Students will now be able to dive deep into key questions surrounding Generative AI in a significant move by Pearson – the world’s leading learning company.
For the first time, A level students across the country will be able to study the role and ethics of AI as part of a qualification, critically analysing trending tools like Chat GPT and their outputs while gaining key skills for the future.
Available from November, the new learning pathway offered within Pearson Edexcel’s Extended Project Qualification (EPQ), will see students able to lead investigations into the benefits and limitations of Generative AI across a range of real-life contexts and interest areas, including:
● Could AI ever replace a sports coach and achieve better results?
● Are AI-generated scripts capable of empathy when portraying loss and death in film?
● Can generative AI provide advice, diagnosis and reassurance in the same way as an appointment with a medical professional?
