Activity Post-16 IB

When the machine sounds sure: an AI literacy seminar

A TOK-style seminar where students grade AI answers that are fluent, confident — and wrong.

How to use it

Groups receive three AI answers on the same prompt (one solid, one subtly wrong, one fabricated) and must rank them with evidence before the reveal.

Adaptations and limits

For younger groups, use image-based cases instead of essays.

Why it works

Confident-error cases train calibration better than abstract warnings; the reveal moment anchors the lesson.

    We used it as-is in the department meeting and then in class: the adaptation levels save the hard part, which is differentiating without rebuilding everything.

  • Marcus Webb IB Coordinator · International school, Lisbon Community

    With Year 11 it works better splitting the session in two: first half guided, second with the material in students' hands. Suggestion: add a 5-minute plenary.

    I shared it with my class through the classroom link, no sign-ups and no branding: it looks clean on the board and every student opened it on their tablet first try.
