The Opposite of Cheating The Opposite of Cheating Podcast (Season 2) Episode 21: Tina Austin
“Before you drive a car, you need to know where the brakes are. That’s how I see AI literacy—AI safety comes first.”
“AI speaks with confidence. That can be seductive for students who aren’t confident in their own thinking.”
The Opposite of Cheating Podcast kicks off Season 2 with a conversation with Tina Austin. In this episode, we learn about Tina's first encounter with contract cheating and then Tina and Tricia tackle the concept of "AI Literacy" (is it a thing and can it be taught?) vs AI Safety and explore a timely debate about whether individual educators can or should resist GenAI.
Tina Austin is an educator in computational biology and biological/medical ethics at multiple California colleges and universities, and has been integrating GenAI into her teaching since 2022 and helping other faculty do the same.
