With the advent of ChatGPT, Google Bard, Midjourney and Canva's magic features, artificial intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming an integral part of our everyday lives, transforming industries and reshaping the way we work, learn and communicate. This rapid technological advancement highlights the importance of incorporating AI education into the curriculum not only to ensure that all students are well-equipped for their academic futures but also for workforce development.

With that in mind, it is crucial to consider underrepresented populations as these students are typically left out of the newest technological advancements.

AI Support for Teaching

AI has the potential to revolutionize the education sector by enhancing learning experiences, supporting teachers and offering more personalized learning opportunities for students. We must equip teachers with the knowledge and strategies they will need to use this new technology to improve and streamline everyday processes as well as classroom implementation.

Some areas in which AI can transform the classroom include personalized learning, ideation, adaptive learning, special needs education, bilingual education, gamification and immersive learning.

Personalized learning involves AI-powered systems that analyze students' learning styles, strengths and weaknesses to create tailored lesson plans and suggest resources to serve their individual needs.

Adaptive learning platforms can adjust to each student's progress in real-time, identifying gaps in knowledge, providing immediate feedback, and suggesting targeted interventions to help students master the material. AI can also help teachers automate administrative tasks, enabling them to focus more on instruction and student interaction.

Furthermore, AI-powered virtual tutors can provide round-the-clock support to students, while customized learning solutions can empower students with special needs to reach their full potential. Gamification and immersive learning experiences can make education more engaging, fun and memorable.

AI-driven language translation tools can break down communication barriers, enabling students and educators from different countries or with different languages to collaborate on projects and learn from one another.

All means all. Teaching students about AI is essential for developing digital literacy, critical thinking skills, and preparing students for future academic and career success. A basic understanding of AI systems enables students to engage and ideate with AI technologies safely, responsibly and ethically. Learning about AI also encourages students to analyze and evaluate question structure, complex information, question assumptions and consider the ethical implications of AI technology usage.

Moreover, AI is transforming the job market, with increasing demand for professionals skilled in AI and related fields. Teaching students about AI can help them develop the knowledge and skills needed to pursue careers in technology, data science and other in-demand industries. AI learning can inspire students to generate ideas and solutions, fostering creativity and innovation - essential skills in today's competitive and evolving job market.

It is particularly important to not exclude AI education from underrepresented student populations. In fact, it is vital to integrate diversity, equity and inclusion within this domain to ensure that a broad perspective of values are embraced to combat digital bias and discrimination.

Providing students with access to AI education can help close opportunity gaps, ensure they have the skills and knowledge to compete in the global workforce, and create a more diverse pool of talent in AI and related fields. This diversity can lead to better problem-solving, creativity and innovation in the development of AI technologies and solutions.

AI education can empower underrepresented communities to leverage technologies for social good and drive positive change in their local and global contexts. Lastly, ensuring underrepresented populations are well-versed in AI positions them to contribute to policymaking and decision-making processes, shaping the rules and regulations governing AI applications.

Risks of Excluding Students from AI Education

Excluding any student group - either deliberately or by neglect - from learning how to leverage artificial intelligence can lead to several negative consequences, both for individuals and society at large. Following are some of the dangers associated with excluding students from AI education.

Digital divide - Excluding students from learning about AI can contribute to the digital divide, as they may not have the knowledge and skills needed to navigate AI-driven technologies in their daily lives. This can hinder their ability to access information, participate in the digital economy and engage with online communities effectively.

Biased AI systems - AI systems often are trained on data collected from human behavior, which can contain biases. For example, facial recognition originally was designed exclusively with white faces because the developers were not diverse. Excluding diverse perspectives from the development and design of AI systems can perpetuate or amplify existing biases, leading to unfair or discriminatory outcomes for certain groups of people.

Wider skills gap - As AI becomes increasingly important in various industries, the demand for professional skills in using AI will grow dramatically. Excluding students from AI education can exacerbate the skills gap, making it more difficult for businesses and organizations to find the diverse talent they need to thrive in the AI-driven economy.

Economic inequality - Students who lack AI education may find it more challenging to secure well-paying jobs as many traditional roles may be automated or significantly transformed by AI. This can lead to increased economic inequality and limit social mobility for those who are not adequately prepared for the AI-driven job market.

Loss of creativity and innovation - A diverse workforce in AI and related fields leads to more creative problem-solving and innovative solutions. By excluding certain students from AI education, we risk losing the valuable insights and ideas that they could bring to the development of AI technologies.

Ethical concerns - As AI becomes more integrated into our lives, it is essential to have a diverse group of professionals involved in the development and regulation of AI systems to ensure ethical considerations are taken into account. Excluding students from learning about AI may result in a lack of diverse perspectives, leading to potential ethical issues and unintended consequences. It also leaves students unprepared to navigate ethical dilemmas.

To mitigate these dangers, it is essential to promote equitable access to AI education for all students, regardless of their background or socioeconomic status. This will help to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from the advancements in AI and contribute to a more inclusive and just society.

AI Is an Ally: Saving Teachers Time with ChatGPT

The time is now to welcome AI into classrooms as an asset and an ally. There are so many things that AI can do to support teaching and learning, from analyzing data for schools and districts, to enabling students to research and understand information in different ways, and - arguably the most important thing - saving time and energy for teachers so that they can focus on the parts of teaching that are less tedious and most important.

ChatGPT has really taken the spotlight over the last few months. While it's not a perfect tool, it has surely kicked off a bit of an AI arms race, and there's plenty of tasks that it can support teachers with for their day-to-day. Here are 5 ways that ChatGPT can save time for classroom teachers:

1. Support for Grading & Assessment

ChatGPT can help teachers save time by automating aspects of marking and grading. With its natural language processing, ChatGPT can analyze and evaluate student responses and provide instant feedback, giving teachers a starting point for marking. It can also support the creation of rubrics or other grading schema.

The key distinction here is between grading and providing feedback: While marking can often feel tedious, providing feedback can be one of the best and most impactful parts of teaching. And of course, it's important that teachers can speak to why a student received a grade, and work with them on what that means for their learning going forward. ChatGPT can save time on the administrative aspects of marking and grading, giving teachers more time for thoughtful, connected feedback.

Potential prompts:

"Create a rubric to grade a 9th grade informational essay on the book Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds"

"Rate this paper against the criteria in this rubric <copy in existing rubric>"

As the AI readily available to teachers continues to evolve, things like adaptable game-based assessments that can measure broad skill sets will become more accessible, freeing even more time for teachers to focus on, well, teaching.

2. Lesson Planning Thought Partner

Obviously, there's no shortage of digital content and tools available to teachers. They can be even easier to use and get more out of with the help of ChatGPT. Again, as a directional starting point, ChatGPT can develop lesson plans, question sets, writing prompts, and more. Those can then be plugged into a collaborative lesson delivery tool, or otherwise shared with students.

Potential Prompts:

"I am teaching a lesson about photosynthesis for grade 10 students in Chappaqua, New York. Give 5 ideas for contextually relevant examples on why photosynthesis is important to understand."

"Create 5 assessment questions for a lesson about basic geometry for students in grade 1."

There is also opportunity for students to use ChatGPT to provide context for their learning - using it like the deeper thinking alternative to Google that it is. Both students and teachers can use it as a thought partner, asking thoughtful questions to gain deeper and different understanding about topics, and developing key information literacy skills. As ChatGPT or other similar tools become approved and safe(r) for student use, there will be interesting opportunities for AI driven tutoring and support. With tools like Open AI's Whisper, conversational AI that can provide students with ideas and support isn't far away.
3. An Ally for Personalizing Learning

ChatGPT can also save time for teachers by helping provide personalized learning experiences for each student. Teachers can use ChatGPT to create customized lessons and assignments for individual students based on their learning style and preferences, reducing the need for teachers to create separate lesson plans. It can also provide ideas and goals for IEPs and help adapt instructions.

Potential Prompts:

"Craft an Individualized Education Program for a student in grade 7 with the following diagnosis, abilities, requirements: <input non-personal student data>"

"Analyze the following assessment responses and suggest the areas where the students should focus for further learning"

4. Supporting with Communications and Data Analysis

ChatGPT can also help teachers save time by automating communication with students and parents. Teachers can use ChatGPT to send automated messages to students and parents about upcoming assignments, tests, and other important information. The most direct form of this is using AI to craft communication, and it can also support with planning communication timelines, along with sorting or analyzing responses from things like parent-teacher meetings.

Potential Prompts:

"Craft a series of three emails reminding parents about our upcoming field trip to the zoo on April 15th, 2023. They need to be reminded about...."

"Analyze the following notes from 8 parent-teacher meetings to summarize and determine key themes"

5. An Ally for Life Tasks

In addition to helping you at work, Allow ChatGPT to help you with daily life tasks - things like meal planning, calendaring for family activities, or scheduling chores. It can also give you ideas about self-care, fitness, and more for you and your family.
Sample Prompts:

"Provide receipts and a shopping list for dinner for 3 weeknights for 4 people. It cannot take more than 30 minutes to prepare. 2 meals must be vegetarian. Do not include any soy products."

"I have 20 minutes a day for physical activity. Make me a weekly plan for the best ways to relieve stress during that time:"

These are just a few of the ways that ChatGPT can optimize and save time for teachers. As tools like ChatGPT get even better, and more AI tools become accessible and available, it will continue to shape education as we know it.

Teachers don't need to be experts in these tools and everything that they can do, but getting to know them and how they can be used to provide support on a regular basis is critical. Not only can they save time today, but they're also foundational for the future of learning and of work. Today's students will graduate into further education and work that is enhanced by AI, and into roles that require them to work with tools like this every day. It is vital that students begin to understand when and how these tools can be used, and for that to be true, teachers need to start getting comfortable with them.

By now, I hope that all educators are using the free tool (or a similar product) to save time, brainstorm ideas, and get help when you're stuck. These AI chatbots are really amazing and get better every day. And whether you're using , , , the AI resources in Google Workspace, or any other chatbot tool, they all work in about the same way. That means once you have the basic tips and tricks of ChatGPT prompts down, you can be a master of all of them!

Things to Remember about ChatGPT and Chatbots

But to make sure that you are getting the results you want from your chatbot prompts, keep these important ideas in mind:

AI is a little like a mirror: it will reflect exactly what you put into it. If you put in bland or boring or unclear prompts, you'll get bland or boring or unclear responses. More thought is required to make the prompt give you what you really need. (GIGO: Garbage In, Garbage Out)

Chatbots can occasionally generate incorrect or biased information.

If the chatbot doesn't understand what you want, it will ask questions.

If it doesn't provide what you want, tweak the prompt to ask again in a different way.

Two users entering the same prompt will not necessarily receive the same response.

Tips for Effective ChatGPT Prompts

Keeping those ideas in mind will ensure that the chatbot responses you get back are what you asked for. But there are some additional tricks for creating effective prompts for chatbots. These require that, like any technology tool, you've thought through what you really want, how you want it (format), the tone you want the response to have, and more.

Check out these tips for effective chatbot prompts:

Use tone modifiers (see this tone modifiers chart).

If you don't like the results of your prompt, you can use the "Improve" command. "I am going to give you an instruction. After receiving your response, I can write "improve" or "approved." If I say "improve," you should try to enhance the quality of your response by referring to the best examples from professionals you know in the field. Let me know who you are trying to mimic. My original instruction is as follows: [prompt].

Remember that you can use ChatGPT itself to create the best prompts. "Act as a prompt generator for ChatGPT. I will state what I want, and you will engineer a prompt that will yield the best and most desirable response from ChatGPT. Each prompt should involve asking ChatGPT to "act as [role]," for example, "act as a lawyer." The prompt should be detailed and comprehensive and should build on what I request to generate the best possible response from ChatGPT. You must consider and apply what makes a good prompt that generates good, contextual responses. Don't just repeat what I request, improve and build upon my request so that the final prompt will yield the best, most useful and favorable response. Place any variables in square brackets. Here is the prompt I want: [Desired prompt] - A prompt that will ... Ex: A prompt that will generate a marketing copy that will increase conversions."

Finally, you can use an AI prompt generator like PromptBot. This is a free tool that simplifies the process of creating detailed, powerful prompts for GPT-based bots.

One of the most powerful benefits of the artificial intelligence ChatGPT is how much time it can save you. And for busy teachers, administrators, and librarians, saving time means a lot. But in order to be more productive with the free tool, it matters how you structure your prompts. Let's look at how you can make the most of your prompts and look at some great prompts written just for educators.

What Is ChatGPT?

Just in case you don't know exactly what ChatGPT is, here's a quick overview. This incredible tool is a language model that is designed to hold a conversation with a person via text entry. You type in a question or command, called a "prompt," and the AI provides the answer or completes the task. It is able to do this because humans have taught it how to learn and search for answers. It's completely free, although a more robust and faster version called ChatGPT Plus is available for $20/month.

How to Craft ChatGPT Prompts

The jury is still out on whether students should be actively using ChatGPT right now or not. But adults in schools should definitely be trying it out. I use it daily, and it has saved me many, many hours.

To help craft the most effective prompts, keep these tips in mind:

Be specific: Provide as much detail as possible about what you're asking, as well as the context intended for that prompt.

Use natural language: Write prompts as you would ask a question to another person, using proper grammar and sentence structure.

Consider tone and style: Write your prompt using the tone and style you desire ChatGPT to use in its response. Or specify what tone you'd like the AI to respond in by adding that to your prompt. For example, ask the AI to write in a lighthearted manner, use a professional tone, add humor to the response, etc.

Assign a role: One of the best ways to get powerful results is to assign ChatGPT a role. For example, if you ask the question, "Explain the workings of the sun to me," you will most likely get a response that doesn't really help you much unless you are an astronomer. Ask the same question like this, and the answer will be something you can actually understand: "Assume the role of a primary teacher. Explain the workings of the sun to a class of seven-year-old students."

For advanced users, you may also want to format the response in Markdown. This is a powerful language for creating web-ready content, even if you aren't going to use the answer on the web. Consider this detailed prompt:

"Write a 250-word article on the solar system's four inner planets. Use markup language and include a heading with a subheading for each planet. Add a table to the conclusion that includes the size of each planet and its distance from the sun."

What you'll get back from that specific prompt is something that looks more like an article and includes a handy table.

How Can ChatGPT Help Educators

ChatGPT Prompts for Personal Use:

"Can you edit and improve my resume and make it a two-page document? Focus it on getting a job as an [instructional technology specialist]. [paste resume]"

"Suggest some self-care activities for stress relief for busy [educators]. Each one should take no more than five minutes."

"I need a new recipe to try. Give me four different savory recipes using chicken breasts, peppers, and onions. At least one of the recipes should be low calorie."

"I've recently enjoyed watching [shows or movies]. What are some lesser-known shows or movies that are similar in style? Provide a two-sentence synopsis of each."

"Write a fun bedtime story for [audience], with them as a main character. Be sure to include [types of elements like dragons or magic or soccer]."

"I want to get better at [insert skill]. I am a beginner and have no prior experience. Create a 30-day plan for me to learn [insert skill] from scratch."

"Ask me questions as if you are the interviewer and I am a candidate for a position as an assistant principal at a middle school. Ask me the questions one at a time and wait for my answer."

ChatGPT Prompts for Educators:

"Create a rubric to grade an eighth-grade informational report on the history and culture of the Cherokee tribal nation."

"Suggest 10 Chrome extensions for high school students designed to improve productivity while studying."

"Create a set of eight practice problems for third-grade students learning beginner algebra. Have the problems start out easy and get harder."

"What promotes student engagement? Identify and summarize articles from trusted sources over the past three years that deal with this subject. The summaries should be 200 words or less each."

"Create a quiz with five multiple-choice questions that assess [grade four] students' understanding of [concept being taught]."

"Create a step-by-step guide to instruct [audience] how to [topic]. Include important tips and tricks."

"Brainstorm 10 content ideas related to [topic] that [your audience like ninth grade students] would find interesting and beneficial."

"Pretend you are a sixth-grade student. Explain the concept of [insert concept or idea] in simple terms and provide relevant examples of how it can be applied in a real-world situation. Simplify complex terms or concepts."

"Give me five fun ways to introduce a lesson on the properties of water to fourth grade students."

ChatGPT prompts for Administrators:

"I am interviewing candidates for the role of [insert role]. Create an interview with three rounds that test for the following traits: culture fit, growth mindset, learning ability, and adaptability. Also, create one technical assignment to test their technical ability. Also, add in the answer key for each question so I can evaluate and grade their answers."

"Act as an expert career coach. I [explain problem]. Give me a list of five solutions that could potentially fix this problem."

"I need some tips on developing an effective cybersecurity strategy that will address the needs of my [school district or organization]. We have a limited budget of [give amount]."

"Write an email to parents letting them know about the school open house event that is happening on [date] at [time]. Write it to be inviting so that they will want to attend."

Can you use the popular AI tool ChatGPT to save time? Over the past few months, I've looked at numerous ways for educators to save time using this new chatbot. If you've followed along with my blog and podcast in the past, you know that working smarter, not harder, is a big theme of the resources I share.

In today's blog post, we're not looking at the role of ChatGPT in education from the student perspective. However, there have been plenty of articles recently on what this means for students to write essays or conduct research with ChatGPT. If you're curious about these conversations, check out this article from The Atlantic, or this one from Edutopia, about the impact of ChatGPT on classroom instruction.

Can teachers use ChatPGT? You bet! ChatGPT isn't COPPA compliant, and it's not designed for students. Of course, that doesn't mean kids of all ages won't try and use it - but for today's purposes, it simply won't be the focus of this post. Instead, I want to share ten ways you can use ChatGPT to save time. And while you play around with this free tool, you can also get a sense of what students might use it for and the potential impact in classrooms.

10 Things Teachers Can Do with ChatGPT to Save Time

How does ChatGPT work? After you set up an account, you can start typing in prompts or questions. You can use complete sentences, write a general task, or ask something very specific. Use this link to set up an account.

One way you can make the most of ChatGPT is to accelerate your workflow - or work smarter, not harder. I recently sat down with Angela Watson from the Truth for Teachers podcast to chat about this topic during a live recording session at the FETC Conference.

The ten things in the list below are all time-saving tips, and I hope as you play around with ChatGPT, you will share what you learn with other educators. Maybe you'll even tag me on social media (find me on Instagram and Twitter) to let me know what you learn, too.

Regular readers of the blog know that I often focus on ways teachers can save time (like " 8 Time-Saving Tips for Teaching with Podcasts - Easy EdTech Podcast 182" or " 7 Google Calendar Tips for Teachers "). The ten tasks listed below are things you probably already do. But with ChatGPT, you can do it faster. And you might find that the result is even better than your first attempt at doing it on your own - especially if you're tired or just spent after a long day.

Email Reminders

Have a field trip on the calendar? Try using the prompt "Write an email to remind families about our field trip to the museum next week." As you can see in the screenshot below, the email that ChatGPT wrote for me has a simple format and gives me space to add specific details.

Feedback Ideas

If you're stuck on what kind of feedback to give students, try asking ChatGPT. Use the prompt, 'My students are writing persuasive essays, and I want to give them feedback on their introduction. What kind of things can I say to them to help strengthen their writing?" The response from ChatGPT gave me a few ideas I can customize for a group of students.

Rewrite a Sentence

Worried that part of a task or email doesn't sound quite right? Use the prompt, "Rewrite this sentence so it is clearer." Then add your sentence to the query box. You could also ask, "Rewrite this sentence, so it is [fill in the blank with: friendlier, more concise, simpler]."

Resource Search

I just returned from speaking at the FETC conference in New Orleans. So with New Orleans still on my mind, I decided to try the prompt, "Where can I go to find primary source documents about New Orleans state history?" Although I might have put this in a Google search, I love how ChatGPT came up with answers and descriptions so I can now search more efficiently.

Simplify an Explanation

Sometimes it's hard to keep things simple. If you're struggling to write something in a concise manner, or you're looking at the directions you want to give students, and you feel like something is missing or just too complicated, place it in ChatGPT. Add the prompt, "Simplify this, so it is less confusing," then paste the paragraph you wrote.

Breakdown a Process

When I write a step-by-step guide, I reread it multiple times to ensure I didn't miss a crucial step. Instead, you might use a prompt like "Explain the process of turning in an assignment in Google Classroom" and then customize it for your group of students. This prompt can save time by giving you a starting point instead of writing entirely from scratch.

Video Titles and Descriptions

Do you make videos for your students, or are you interested in flipping your classroom? Try having ChatGPT write the video titles and descriptions for you. For example, you might ask, "Write a catchy title and informative description for a video for my students about the lattice method for multiplication." Of course, you don't have to use this exact title and description, but it can certainly save you time if you are uploading a unit's worth of videos into YouTube.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Earlier this year, I shared some of my favorite keyboard shortcuts on the podcast. If you'd like to find a quick list without having to scroll through a handful of responses on Google, try asking ChatGPT. For example, you might say, "Make a list of keyboard shortcuts for Google Calendar."

Writing Prompts

A popular way to start the day in a classroom is to ask students to write about a relevant topic. You might tell ChatGPT to generate a list of writing prompts for you. Once you see the suggestions, you can modify them to meet the needs of your students. Here's what ChatGPT came up with when I asked, "Make a list of 10 writing prompts I can share with students to have them write about endangered species."

Email Revisions

One of the ways I've used ChatGPT to save time this year is to revise my emails. After I write an email, I will paste the text into ChatGPT with the prompt "Rewrite this email so it is friendly, clear, and professional." Of course, you can modify the adjectives to fit your goals and substitute them with words like concise, serious, brief, or silly.
You might find that ChatGPT is helpful in various ways - not just teaching. Here are a few bonus tips to try out:

Give me a recipe for lasagna for two people

What day of the week was [add your date of birth]?

Make a list of holidays in March

Did I write this blog post with ChatGPT? Nope, but it did help me out with a few winter blog posts, including this one on video journals and this one on making animated videos. If you're ready to get started using ChatGPT to save time, create a free account and use one of the prompts listed above. I can't wait to hear what you think! Share your ideas on social media and tag me @ClassTechTips on Instagram and Twitter, or just send me a DM if you have something awesome to share!

Artist Wins Photography Contest After Submitting AI-Generated Image, Then Forfeits Prize

Artist Wins Photography Contest After Submitting AI-Generated Image, Then Forfeits Prize

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Boris Eldagsen, The Electrician.Courtesy the artist

An artist declined an award at a prominent photography contest because he had submitted an AI-generated work, proving, he said, the competition couldn't deal with art made by that means. The contest's organizers, in turn, said they didn't know the extent to which the work utilized AI.

Boris Eldagsen won the World Photography Organization's Sony World Photography Awards for a piece titled The Electrician. The work appears like an old photograph showing two women, one of whom crouches behind the other. Another person's hand extends toward the front woman's body.

Part of a series called "Pseudomnesia," the work was made by submitting language to an AI generator many times over. In the process, the work was altered using techniques known as inpainting, outpainting, and prompt whispering.

"Just as photography replaced painting in the reproduction of reality, AI will replace photography," Eldagsen wrote in a description. "Don't be afraid of the future. It will just be more obvious that our mind always created the world that makes it suffer."

Initially, when the work was selected for competition in March, Eldagsen wrote on his website that he was "happy" his "image," as he called it, had made the cut. Then, when he won last week, he sounded a different note.

"AI images and photography should not compete with each other in an award like this," he wrote in a statement on April 13. "They are different entities. AI is not photography. Therefore I will not accept the award."

He continued, "We, the photo world, need an open discussion. A discussion about what we want to consider photography and what not. Is the umbrella of photography large enough to invite AI images to enter - or would this be a mistake?"

Eldagsen, who had won in the creative category, urged the jury to give his prize money to a photography festival in Odesa, Ukraine, instead.

The World Photography Organization frowned upon Eldagsen's work and his response to winning.

In a statement, the organization said, "As he has now decided to decline his award we have suspended our activities with him and in keeping with his wishes have removed him from the competition. Given his actions and subsequent statement noting his deliberate attempts at misleading us, and therefore invalidating the warranties he provided, we no longer feel we are able to engage in a meaningful and constructive dialogue with him."

The statement continued, "We recognise the importance of this subject and its impact on image-making today. We look forward to further exploring this topic via our various channels and programmes and welcome the conversation around it. While elements of AI practices are relevant in artistic contexts of image-making, the Awards always have been and will continue to be a platform for championing the excellence and skill of photographers and artists working in the medium."

The controversy loosely recalls another one that took place last August, when an AI-generated artwork won an art competition at the Colorado State Fair. That work had been produced using Midjourney, spurring a mixture of anger and fascination within the art world and beyond.

Best tools for academic research

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The future of academia is likely to be transformed by AI language models such as ChatGPT. Here are some other tools worth knowing about.

"ChatGPT will redefine the future of academic research. But most academics don't know how to use it intelligently," Mushtaq Bilal, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Southern Denmark, recently tweeted.

Academia and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly intertwined, and as AI continues to advance, it is likely that academics will continue to either embrace its potential or voice concerns about its risks.

"There are two camps in academia. The first is the early adopters of artificial intelligence, and the second is the professors and academics who think AI corrupts academic integrity," Bilal told Euronews Next.

He places himself firmly in the first camp.

The Pakistani-born and Denmark-based professor believes that if used thoughtfully, AI language models could help democratise education and even give way to more knowledge.

Many experts have pointed out that the accuracy and quality of the output produced by language models such as ChatGPT are not trustworthy. The generated text can sometimes be biased, limited or inaccurate.

But Bilal says that understanding those limitations, paired with the right approach, can make language models "do a lot of quality labour for you," notably for academia.

Incremental prompting to create a 'structure'

To create an academia-worthy structure, Bilal says it is fundamental to master incremental prompting, a technique traditionally used in behavioural therapy and special education.

It involves breaking down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps and providing prompts or cues to help the individual complete each one successfully. The prompts then gradually become more complicated.

In behavioural therapy, incremental prompting allows individuals to build their sense of confidence. In language models, it allows for "way more sophisticated answers".

In a Twitter thread, Bilal showed how he managed to get ChatGPT to provide a "brilliant outline" for a journal article using incremental prompting.

In his demonstration, Bilal started by asking ChatGPT about specific concepts relevant to his work, then about authors and their ideas, guiding the AI-driven chatbot through the contextual knowledge pertinent to his essay.

"Now that ChatGPT has a fair idea about my project, I ask it to create an outline for a journal article," he explained, before declaring the results he obtained would likely save him "20 hours of labour".

"If I just wrote a paragraph for every point in the outline, I'd have a decent first draft of my article".

Incremental prompting also allows ChatGPT and other AI models to help when it comes to "making education more democratic," Bilal said.

Some people have the luxury of discussing with Harvard or Oxford professors potential academic outlines or angles for scientific papers, "but not everyone does," he explained.

"If I were in Pakistan, I would not have access to Harvard professors but I would still need to brainstorm ideas. So instead, I could use AI apps to have an intelligent conversation and help me formulate my research".

Bilal recently made ChatGPT think and talk like a Stanford professor. Then, to fact-check how authentic the output was, he asked the same questions to a real-life Stanford professor. The results were astonishing.

ChatGPT is only one of the many AI-powered apps you can use for academic writing, or to mimic conversations with renowned academics.

Here are other AI-driven software to help your academic efforts, handpicked by Bilal.

In Bilal's words: "If ChatGPT and Google Scholar got married, their child would be Consensus - an AI-powered search engine".

Consensus looks like most search engines but what sets it apart is that you ask Yes/No questions, to which it provides answers with the consensus of the academic community.

Users can also ask Consensus about the relationship between concepts and about something's cause and effect. For example: Does immigration improve the economy?

Consensus would reply to that question by stating that most studies have found that immigration generally improves the economy, while also providing a list of the academic papers it used to arrive at the consensus, and ultimately sharing the summaries of the top articles it analysed.

The AI-powered search engine is only equipped to respond on six topics: economics, sleep, social policy, medicine, and mental health and health supplements.

Elicit, "the AI research assistant" according to its founders, also uses language models to answer questions, but its knowledge is solely based on research, enabling "intelligent conversations" and brainstorming with a very knowledgeable and verified source.

The software can also find relevant papers without perfect keyword matches, summarise them and extract key information.

Although language models like ChatGPT are not designed to intentionally deceive, it has been proven they can generate text that is not based on factual information, and include fake citations to papers that don't exist.

But there is an AI-powered app that gives you real citations to actually published papers - Scite.

"This is one of my favourite ones to improve workflows," said Bilal.

Similar to Elicit, upon being asked a question, Scite delivers answers with a detailed list of all the papers cited in the response.

"Also, if I make a claim and that claim has been refuted or corroborated by various people or various journals, Scite gives me the exact number. So this is really very, very powerful".

"If I were to teach any seminar on writing, I would teach how to use this app".

"Research Rabbit is an incredible tool that FAST-TRACKS your research. Best part: it's FREE. But most academics don't know about it," tweeted Bilal.

Called by its founders "the Spotify of research," Research Rabbit allows adding academic papers to "collections".

These collections allow the software to learn about the user's interests, prompting new relevant recommendations.

Research Rabbit also allows visualising the scholarly network of papers and co-authorships in graphs, so that users can follow the work of a single topic or author and dive deeper into their research.

ChatPDF is an AI-powered app that makes reading and analysing journal articles easier and faster.

"It's like ChatGPT, but for research papers," said Bilal.

Users start by uploading the research paper PDF into the AI software and then start asking it questions.

The app then prepares a short summary of the paper and provides the user with examples of questions that it could answer based on the full article.

What promise does AI hold for the future of research?

The development of AI will be as fundamental "as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone," wrote Bill Gates in the latest post on his personal blog, titled 'The Age of AI Has Begun'.

"Computers haven't had the effect on education that many of us in the industry have hoped," he wrote.

"But I think in the next five to 10 years, AI-driven software will finally deliver on the promise of revolutionising the way people teach and learn".
