How I use AI to make these materials

I build AI literacy lessons. The frameworks, the topics, the website design, and the majority of the content here are my own work. I use AI like an assistant for a few specific tasks, and you should know exactly which ones. I write the prompts, I check the facts, and I make the final call on everything you see, hear, and read here.

Where generative AI helped

Four places, each with a person in charge

I directed every one of these and reviewed the result before it went live.

Images and illustrations

I use generative AI to create the illustrations across these materials, including Kai the puppy who guides the youngest learners. I write each prompt, pick every image, and redo anything that does not fit. Nothing ships until I approve it.

Human role: prompting, selection, final approval

The podcast

The audio overviews are generated from source documents I write myself. I draft the source material, then listen back and check it for accuracy. If a point is wrong or unclear, I fix the source and run it again.

Human role: writing the source, accuracy review

Video

I use generative AI to produce the short videos and trailers. I write the script and the shot directions, then guide the look and the pacing. I watch every clip before it goes out.

Human role: script, direction, review

Bundle outlines and planning

I use AI as a thinking partner when I plan a bundle. It helps me draft outlines, sort ideas, and test the structure. The teaching choices, the standards, the frameworks, and the writing stay mine.

Human role: teaching decisions, frameworks, writing
What stays human

AI helps me make things. It does not decide what is true.

That part is on me.

  • The frameworks and topics are mine. I created them, along with the website design and the majority of the content. AI assisted with specific tasks. It did not do the thinking.
  • I check every fact against trusted sources before it reaches you.
  • I write or rewrite the lessons in my own voice. AI does not get the last word on the words.
  • I own every decision and I am responsible for what you read, watch, and hear here.
  • I tell you when AI helped. This page is me doing that.

I saw a gap in AI understanding. AI Kairos is here to help you learn it, question it, and use it wisely.

Why I tell you this

Disclosure is part of what I teach

In the READY framework, the Y stands for your responsibility: credit AI when you use it, verify your facts, and use it ethically. I ask learners to do that. So I do it too. If you are going to teach honesty about AI, you have to practice it where people can see.

Clear lines

What I do not do with AI

In case you are wondering.

I do not publish anything I have not reviewed myself.
I do not pass off AI text as fact without checking it first.
I do not put learner or student information into AI tools. Privacy comes first.
I do not hide AI use. If a tool helped, you will find it named here.
Tools I use

I update this list as my tools change.
