Simple supports for prompt engineering and workflows for lesson design through AI models like ChatGPT can provide educators with a powerful new toolkit for the design and improvement of interdisciplinary educational innovations.

We are using the tools of community science to empower the values of school communities to drive their engagement with, and influence on, diverse Artificial Intelligences. This includes a focus on conceptual understanding of AI technology as well as questions of machine behavior and agency. It also includes an emphasis on adaptive flexibility, or the values-driven changes to our minds, behaviors, and (school) cultures as related to the cultural co-evolution of AI technologies. That is – how do AI technologies and human cultures interact? How can humans influence these interactions in valued ways? These are processes we call community-based cultural evolution.

We are working to outline the secure open science workflows and data management pipelines that can empower students and teachers to utilize AI technology for virtual mentorship in understanding the human condition, and community-based processes of school improvement.
