Preface
At StoryLab, powered by Salween Learning Journeys Company Limited, we recognize that artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the landscape of digital interaction and communication. As an organization at the forefront of educational innovation, we proactively integrate AI into our learning journeys, viewing it as an essential literacy skill that our participants need to master to thrive in the modern world.
We are mindful of the disruptions that AI can bring to people’s lives. While some of these changes pose challenges, they also present unprecedented opportunities to enhance storytelling and educational experiences. At StoryLab, we choose to engage with AI not just passively, but as active participants shaping its use in ways that align with our core values of empowerment, inclusivity, and ethical engagement.
Our approach to AI is grounded in the belief that understanding and utilizing this technology is fundamental to modern literacy. We are committed to exploring and demonstrating responsible ways to use AI as a powerful tool for storytelling. This involves not only employing AI to automate tasks or analyze data but also using it to deepen the narrative and educational impact of our workshops.
Through this policy, we aim to set a standard for responsible AI use that others in the educational and storytelling communities can aspire to. We invite our participants, partners, and the wider community to join us in navigating this evolving landscape, ensuring that we remain true to our mission of fostering meaningful and transformative learning experiences.
