Abstract
The incredible evolution of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has raised people’s concerns about AI education for the next generation. While nations have spent much effort trying to promote AI curricula for the K-12 level, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the teacher-supporting process. Throughout the attempt to smooth this situation with an application that assists middle/ high school teachers to organize their AI lesson plans, we recognized that the balance among different fields of AI knowledge deserves more attention. Besides technical competence, the social effects and ethical problems of AI should be introduced to young students. Therefore, this study proposes an instructional framework that supports middle/ high school teachers to explain AI ethical issues for their students from an ethnographic perspective, which is based on Seaver’s idea of “algorithm as culture.” There are three big lessons that we have learned from his work, which we would apply to our proposal, including a) Algorithms reflect producers’ culture; b) Mutual interaction between users and algorithms can affect how algorithms practice; and c) Due to technical secrecy, how users can access information is controlled by profit-oriented corporations.
