Day 4: Ethical Decision-Making and Responsible Leadership

Ethical Decision-Making and Responsible Leadership

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, ethical decision-making and responsible leadership are more essential than ever, especially with the integration of Generative AI (GenAI) in higher education. This module will guide you through the complexities of ethical leadership, offering activities designed to enhance your ability to lead with integrity and responsibility.

Drawing from video resources such as Leadership in the Age of AI by Paul Hudson and Lindsay Levin, you will explore how ethical leaders create environments rooted in trust, transparency, and security. A role-playing simulation will allow you to apply these leadership principles in real-world scenarios involving GenAI in education, helping you navigate the ethical challenges associated with its use.

Through reflective discussions, you will share perspectives, challenge assumptions, and collaboratively investigate the impact of ethical decision-making on the future of education and AI.

Learning Outcomes: By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Critically evaluate the role of ethical leadership in the integration of GenAI in higher education, focusing on key principles like trust, empathy, and transparency.
• Apply ethical decision-making frameworks to real-world scenarios involving GenAI, justifying your decisions using ethical leadership principles.
• Analyze the ethical challenges GenAI presents in education and produce a reflective post that integrates insights from video resources and role-play activities, while also offering constructive peer feedback.
