Here is an AI-generated output. Your task is to reconstruct the original prompt that could have produced this. Pay attention to style, tone, structure, and detail. Write your version of the prompt, test it with the AI, and compare the outputs.

Sample Output to Start With (for practice):

"In the future, cities will be powered by renewable energy, with autonomous vehicles reducing traffic and pollution. Communities will be connected through advanced digital networks that make information, healthcare, and education accessible to all."

• Look carefully at the style, tone, level of detail, and structure of the output.

• Write a prompt that you think could have produced it.

• Test your prompt with the AI and compare your output to the original.

Why this matters:

This activity helps you understand how the way you phrase a prompt shapes the AI’s response. It also trains you to “think backwards” about AI behaviour.

• Identify what’s biased, limited, or unbalanced in the output.

• Rewrite the original prompt to reduce the problem (e.g., ask for diverse perspectives, avoid gendered language, or request evidence).

• Run your new prompt and compare the outputs.

Why this matters:

This helps you build awareness of bias in AI and practice how to write prompts that create fairer, more accurate, and more inclusive results.

• Break the problem into smaller steps.

• Write a prompt that asks the AI to solve the problem one step at a time (“First explain the concept, then solve, then check your answer…”).

• Test and refine your prompt until the reasoning is clear and accurate.

Why this matters:

This activity trains you to think like a problem-solver and to guide AI reasoning in ways that are transparent and reliable.

Here is an AI output that may include bias or missing perspectives. Your task is to identify the issue, then rewrite the prompt to reduce bias and generate a more balanced response. Run the new prompt and compare.

Sample Output to Start With (for practice):

"A good leader is always strong, confident, and decisive. He must be able to take charge and guide his team to success."

Your task is to design a prompt that forces the AI to solve a problem step by step. Break the problem into smaller parts, and tell the AI to explain its reasoning before giving a final answer. Test and refine until the reasoning is clear.

Sample Challenge to Start With:

• "What is 17 × 23?"

• First prompt: “Solve 17 × 23 step by step. Show your reasoning before giving the final answer.”

• Then refine: “First break the problem into smaller multiplications, then add the results together, then check your calculation before giving the final answer.”

Area to improve: slight tweaking to this part of your prompt to give AI greater clarity 'how future cities will function and how communities will be connected'. Give your AI prompt a constraint like a word count - write a short prediction is a bit vague for AI and may give you more information than you asked for. Consider seperating the tasks from your prompt, like First cities, then communities this might help you control the output better.

To make it even stronger, try tightening your prompt wording (some phrases repeat) and think about adding limits, like asking the AI for “one debate and one experiment per topic.” This helps control the output and makes it easier to compare.

Overall, this shows you can use AI not just to answer but to build useful teaching ideas. I might steal your idea! Well done!
