Deep dives
The Evolving Perception of AI in Education
The initial response to the emergence of ChatGPT in educational settings was predominantly negative, with many perceiving it as a tool for academic dishonesty and plagiarism. Over time, this perspective has evolved, as educators and institutions began to recognize the necessity of integrating AI into the learning experience. Many faculty members have shifted their views, now acknowledging that students must understand how to use AI effectively, as it will be an integral part of their professional lives. This change, however, has been slow and uneven, with some institutions still clinging to outdated notions of strict bans and punitive measures against AI usage.
