I'm in the process of developing a unit about Generative AI to help students develop a more critical understanding about it. It's going well so far!

I found an article that perfectly rounds out my lesson about AI and bias and I'm quite pleased.

A poster of Manitoba featuring a few dozen of its wildlife species. The animals are inserted into the map in various sizes in the approximate regions where they live. The bottom right of the map features a beaver and great gray owl. An American white pelican flies in the middle with a yellow-headed blackbird to the west of it. A bison peaks around the western border with a prairie skink and red fox behind it. North of the bison are a black bear and elk. East of them near the blue Lake Winnipeg in the middle are garter snakes a little brown bat and a black-capped chickadee. The southern part of the province features a snapping turtle, monarch butterfly, tiger salamander, deer mouse, loggerhead shrike, redhead duck, bumblebee and a white-tailed deer. In the lake are a walley, lake whitefish, and goldeye. The eastern portion of the province features a luna moth, white-throated sparrow, bald eagle, moose, wood frog and a small group of Canada and snow geese. The centre north is filled with a lynx chasing a snowhoe hare, wolf, raven and Harris' sparrow. The northern coast has an Arctic fox, willow ptarmigan, beluga whale, and polar bear. Lastly, the northwest corner has an American marten, barren-ground caribou bull and a wolverine

This poster is going to take me months to finish, but it's starting to make sense. I blocked in the background colour so I could see all of the animals better. I do plan to squeeze a few more species in as I go (especially insects), but this is the framework for now.
