Subclaims¶

q1 i? Handing students the task of articulating the rules under which AI is used, even a scaffolded task, produced a concrete accountability framework, and submitting to student-endorsed rules changed how AI was discussed in the room. → Yusuf Pisan 2026 q1 i? The endorsed provisions were proposed as examples in the Gemini-generated assignment, not coined independently by students: an AI-generated exercise proposed the terms, students endorsed them, and the instructor chose to be bound by them. → Yusuf Pisan 2026 (2)

q1 · i? · design · r2

Week-2 in-class exercise (The Algorithmic Professor?; 44 of 46 students present, nine group submissions) in which groups deliberated on instructor AI use and produced a Student Bill of AI Rights. The author reports the framework's usability as his own practitioner judgment, with no causal or learning-outcome claim.

"handing students the task of articulating the rules under which AI is used in their course, even a scaffolded task, produced a concrete accountability framework that I found more usable than most institutional guidance, and the act of submitting myself to rules my students endorsed changed how AI was discussed in the room."

q1 · i? · design · r2

Provenance analysis of the exercise: the Gemini-generated assignment instructed groups to produce a Student Bill of AI Rights and offered three example rights, which the groups then converged on. The author attributes the Beta-Test Rule name to the model rather than the students and calls this loop the finding.

"an AI-generated exercise proposed the terms on which AI use should be governed, a cohort of students deliberated and endorsed them, and their human instructor then chose to be bound by them."
