From Zero to Infinity: AI Transparency in the Classroom

About this episode

The episode discusses AI transparency in education, focusing on a framework for academic integrity in the age of generative AI.

In this episode of Deep Learning Dialogues , Whitney McKinley and Katrina Gouett dive into the heart of academic integrity in the age of generative AI. Moving away from the "policing" mindset of AI detectors, they introduce the Zero to Infinity scale, a research-based, WCDSB-specific framework designed to bring transparency to the classroom. The conversation highlights how this five-zone tool was refined with WCDSB teachers and students. By focusing on "formation over automation," the hosts discuss how educators can design assessments that prioritize the human process of learning over the final AI-assisted product.
