This assignment, by Emily Gillo, is from the TextGenEd January 2024 Continuing Experiments collection in the WAC Clearinghouse Repository.
The abstract from the site explains:
This assignment asks students to critically analyze and annotate a Generative Artificial Intelligence platform’s Privacy Policy or Terms of Service (TOS) Agreement. Students then remediate a selection of those annotations to better align with their own personal ethics surrounding data privacy, authorship, and intellectual property rights. Analyzing the TOS for these platforms challenges students to reflect on the data and privacy surrendered when interacting with these platforms. Asking students to revise the agreement and compare their revisions to revisions suggested by the GenAI platform allows them the opportunity to examine bias that is often reflected in GenAI output.
Key Features of This Assignment
