中文摘要 AI 辅助
Agents of ViTAL: Ethics Missions是一款基于浏览器的以叙事为中心的学习环境，中学生可在此协作评估虚构学校是否应采用一款由AI驱动的课堂反馈工具。学生需调查利益相关者的观点，权衡AI伦理三个维度（隐私、偏见及环境影响）的利弊，并通过共享的排名挑战界面协商达成群体共识。该环境嵌入了EthicsBot，一款被设计为类似同伴的思考伙伴的对话智能体，用于支撑伦理推理与协作讨论。该项目正与高中生协同迭代设计，他们的反馈会影响EthicsBot的角色、行为及防护措施。针对四个九年级班级的初步课堂实施显示，学生参与度高，且基于自身AI生活经验形成了实质性的伦理推理。本次演示邀请参会者探索该学习环境、参与协作排名挑战并与EthicsBot互动。
英文摘要
Agents of ViTAL: Ethics Missions is a browser-based, narrative-centered learning environment in which middle school students collaboratively evaluate whether a fictional school should adopt an AI-powered classroom feedback tool. Students investigate stakeholder perspectives, weigh tradeoffs across three AI ethics dimensions (privacy, bias, and environmental impact), and negotiate group consensus through a shared Ranking Challenge interface. The environment embeds EthicsBot, a conversational agent designed as a peer-like thought partner that scaffolds ethical reasoning and collaborative discussion. The project is being iteratively co-designed with high school students, whose feedback shapes EthicsBot's role, behavior, and guardrails. Initial classroom implementations with four ninth-grade classes demonstrated strong engagement and substantive ethical reasoning grounded in students' lived experiences with AI. The demo invites attendees to explore the learning environment, participate in the collaborative Ranking Challenge, and interact with EthicsBot.
