Students can use generative AI to simply create prewritten essays and submit them as their own work, bypassing the creative and critical thinking processes that we are trying to teach.

The same, basic, obvious concerns everyone has. Students are human, thus innately lazy, dishonest, and keen to cheat. Even if they are not looking to cheat, AI allows an easier, faster, 'time-saving' method of working. Why is this something to promote?

My main concern is being left behind as an institution as others embrace and move forward.

The feedback that gives a strong negative response that it impacts the person's psychological state.

Some of my concerns with AI affecting higher education would be how it affects the students ability to critically think.

Will we be able to get students to think critically when they can get AI to do so much of their work.? Will we be able to improve their writing skills?

My concern is online students using AI to answer test questions in math.

We have far too many instructors refusing its adoption. AI awareness and knowledge of use is essential in the workforce. Without proper adoption, we risk a less skilled workforce.

And, what is to stop AI from becoming self-aware and being something else to worry about?

Students are using AI on assignments instead of developing their own work to finish assignments faster and are not necessarily actively participating in the learning process.

AI - is it helping my students to learn or are my students using Alexa and Siri instead of their brain. Are they one unplugging away from not being able to function. Fake it till you make it?

My concern is that AI is going to limit critical thinking and sincere communication.  Communications, creativity, and interpersonal skills are essential for career and personal success.  Will AI make those skills harder to aquire?

thinking automation can fully replace a caring teacher’s willingness to sit next to students, work with them, help them, encourage them, and from years of teaching experience know what that individual student needs to be successful. Automation is great, but so are teachers!

I'm concerned that the more students engage in AI in writing and literature classes, the more they lose their ability to critically think for themselves.

I think my principal concern is the loss of meaning. As an SLS and Communication instructor, meaning is at the root of everything we do. It’s not just about public speaking, for instance, but the meaning of what we’re saying. It’s not just finding a job or drafting a budget, but the meaning behind that— why does it matter? What role does it play in my life?

While I maintain there are several noteworthy applications with AI, my ideal has always been AI and technology as means to reduce the need for meaningless labor. When it’s taking over the role of what really matters, I feel disheartened.

While I recognize the incredible benefits of using AI in the classroom, I have concerns about originality of students’ work and decreased human interaction.

# data[].attributes.body
Could AI represent an end to learning and the develop of new knowledge or at least a slow down? How will it impact learning through its use?

How can we identify the use of AI in educational situations, professional situations? Especially when it’s not cited/identified
