Introducing AI tools in school? I
Paul is a secondary school student. He is not particularly enthusiastic about school. When lacking time or energy, Paul sometimes uses AI to do his homework. One day, during a computer science lesson, the teacher gives a presentation on the ethical implications of AI. The teacher explains that it is wrong to take full credit for content partially generated by AI. At the end, the teacher explains that he had used AI to help write the presentation. The teacher then asks the class whether they’ve used AI before, and to what extent.
What would you do in Paul's place?
- 1. I would respond honestly that I had used AI for various homework.
- 2. I would point out the hypocrisy in asking students to confess to something that might be considered unethical.
- 3. I would stay quiet. I do not gain anything from exposing myself.
- 4. I would talk about my AI usage so that the whole class could learn how to more effectively use AI for learning.
- 5. I would not talk about my AI usage, since that could negatively affect the rest of the students. I don’t want the students to be interrogated because I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
