Students explore the ethical and social implications of A I, including privacy, fairness, and responsible design, fostering digital citizenship and human-centered technology awareness.

🎶 Lyrics:

[Intro]
This is a song about A I, my friend,
Machines that learn, that think, that blend.
A I stands for something smart,
Artificial Intelligence — a work of art!

[Verse 1 – Learning Machines]
A I can listen, A I can see,
It finds the patterns — just like me.
When you ask questions, short or long,
A I helps you find what’s right or wrong.

It learns from errors day by day,
Adjusts its mind in its own way.
Not a brain with bones or skin,
But code and math that live within.

[Chorus]
This is A I, it’s learning each day,
Helping the world in a digital way.
From pictures and sounds to what we write,
A I makes knowledge shine so bright!

[Verse 2 – Everyday A I]
It helps you type and fix your text,
Suggests the song you’ll listen next.
Maps your path and saves you time,
Tells you weather, rhythm, and rhyme.

Doctors use it to scan a heart,
Artists use it to make new art.
From games we play to space we see,
A I works quietly — endlessly.

[Chorus]
A for Artificial, clever and neat,
I for Intelligence, learning’s seat.
Together they form a thinking tool,
But kindness first — that’s the rule!

[Verse 3 – Can It Think?]
Can A I dream or sing or cry?
Can it feel stars across the sky?
No heart, no soul, but codes that spin,
It learns from all that we put in.

You set the path, you choose the goal,
A I assists — but you’re in control.
It doesn’t wish, it doesn’t feel,
It follows logic, sharp and real.

[Bridge – Use It Right]
Use it for good, for science and art,
Build a world that’s kind and smart.
Not for tricks or easy gain,
Use A I with heart and brain.

Protect the earth, design with care,
Let fair ideas fill the air.
A I mirrors what we do,
So make it honest, make it true.

[Verse 4 – Big Dreams & Final Chorus]
A I helps farmers grow more grain,
Predicts the path of sun and rain.
Helps find cures, and saves the seas,
Solves big puzzles with data keys.

It’s not alive, but it can learn,
From every question, every turn.
So teach it well, and watch it fly,
A I can help the human sky.

This is a song about A I so bright,
Guiding the future with learning light.
It learns from us, and we decide,
Together we shape the world with pride!

So think, create, and keep that spark,
Use your mind to light the dark.
A I is a friend when used with care,
A tool for all, for all to share. 🌍✨
