Growing impact of AI in education

The use of Artificial Intelligence, such as ChatGPT, in the field of education is increasing rapidly. Both teachers and students are incorporating it into the process of knowing and understanding, thereby changing the traditional methods of education. An important question is how to evaluate real knowledge when machines can produce human-like language.

Post-plagiarism era

According to a study conducted in Canadian colleges, we have entered a “post-plagiarism” era. The use of AI in this era will not always be considered imitation. Teachers believe that AI cannot be stopped completely. Therefore, it is essential that policies change and students are taught to use AI responsibly.

Prompting: A New Ability

Asking the right questions of AI has emerged as a new skill, called “prompting.” It requires clear thinking, correct understanding and clarity of communication. If students are able to ask the right questions, it shows their understanding and analytical ability.

Teachers can ask students to review content generated by AI. For example, students could be tasked with identifying errors in summaries or arguments generated by AI. This makes it clear that students are not just receiving information, but are trying to understand it deeply.

Writing: a sensitive topic

Writing is considered a human and creative act. AI can help in the creation of ideas or the improvement of language, but it is not considered appropriate to have the entire article written by AI. Originality and creativity should remain only with humans.

Opportunities and Challenges

AI can not harm education but can also help. This can be extremely helpful for students with disabilities or people learning new languages. Many teachers believe that AI should not be adopted as a threat, but as a means of progress.
