You possess a basic knowledge of artificial intelligence, including key concepts, terms, and technologies. You are aware of some of the cultural, ethical, economic, legal, and social implications of these technologies, including how they impact you as a learner. You know and understand your responsibilities in using and acknowledging AI as a student and/or staff member of The University of Queensland.
| Capabilities | Evidence of achievement |
|---|---|
| 1.1 Understand key AI-related terms and concepts | Define terms including artificial intelligence (AI), generative artificial Intelligence (GenAI), explainable AI (XAI) and agentic AI. |
| 1.2 Understand the underlying domains or fields of AI | Recognise the key domains or fields of artificial intelligence, including machine learning, robotics, reinforcement learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. |
| 1.3 Understand how AI models are created and trained |
Define large language models (LLMs) and describe how they are trained. Describe how LLMs produce responses and recognise that the material used for training influences responses and may introduce biases. Define what an AI agent is and describe how it could be used. Describe the physical infrastructure (hardware) that AI tools rely on. |
| 1.4 Understand when you are using AI tools or relying on AI-generated content |
Recognise that AI tools can be embedded in a range of applications, programs, and operating systems. Recognise when you are using AI-generated content or AI tools (e.g. machine translation tools). |
| 1.5 Understand potential and realised social, ethical, and legal impacts of AI |
Explain potential and realised legal issues, including intellectual property and licensing concerns, and privacy and confidentiality considerations. Explain potential and realised ethical issues, including data governance and sovereignty (including Indigenous data governance and sovereignty), the importance of reducing systemic biases/societal inequity relating to, but not limited to, race, gender, age, socioeconomic status, disability and sexuality. Explain potential and realised social issues, including impacts on learning and employment. Describe some of the environmental impacts of AI use, including the infrastructure needed to run these tools. |
| 1.6 Understand how AI use could impact learning and your responsibilities at The University of Queensland |
Explain how AI can help and/or hurt your learning. Know your obligations as a UQ student or staff member and recognise institutional policies on AI use and discipline-specific ethical considerations. |
