“Feel like AI?” is a Citizen Science project by university students with 10th grade pupils in school. In our poster, we illustrate our learnings in the process of creating the project, as well as the insights we gained through our Citizen Scientists.
Poster Abstract
This summer term, four BA sociology students from the University of Konstanz, participated in a seminar on Citizen Science. The aim of that course was to plan and realize our own Citizen Science project. For the four of us, this seminar was our first point of contact with Citizen Science, as well as the first overall experience of conducting research.
Our poster illustrates the learnings from our research at the interface of Artificial Intelligence and social sustainability, conducted in collaboration with a group of tenth-grade pupils.
The pathway towards our own project, starting from scratch, taught us a great deal about flexibility and time management, as well as the continual cycle of making, overthrowing, and reforming plans. While we learned a lot about the nature of Citizen Science, our Citizen Scientists gifted us valuable insights. The results of our research were characterized by a relatively equal amount of advantages and disadvantages of AI in schools and the broader societal context. Aspects that kept coming up were the efficiency of AI and the support it can provide in various situations. However, the pupils also pointed out a great number of risks they see are connected to the use of AI, most importantly in areas of social interaction and societal change.
In our poster, we will provide a detailed overview of our research results, accompanied by visual materials that illustrate our project’s development.
