Ukraine's Excellent AI Guidance Available Globally for Schools to Model

The United States has provided $175 billion of financial and military support to Ukraine, a country fending off an invasion from its neighbor. Given its current financial situation and military predicament, there isn’t much Ukraine can offer in return, but it has produced an incredible AI guidance document that US states that have yet to issue guidance (32 of them) can emulate. And, frankly, there are great ideas in it for all states and schools/districts to emulate, even if they have already issued a guidance document.

Ukraine is quite busy with the war, but they found time to prioritize this in order to prepare their students for the future.

I spent time yesterday reviewing an English translation of the guidance, and it is incredible.

These are the items that stand out to me —

(a) Advice to avoid giving assignments that simply aim to reproduce existing knowledge, as AI can do that. Instead, it suggests using alternative assessments.

Mississippi offers similar suggestions —

(b ) Identification of specific alternative assessments such as debate :)

(d) Continuous PD

(e) Collaborative work between students and teams of AIs, including PBL

(f) A set of specific standards for evaluating AI apps

(g) Emerging standards for different Age levels

(h) Strong examples of prompts (I wouldn’t necessarily put this in a Guidance, but these are helpful)
