In this example, a college student found out that her professor used ChatGPT to write comments on her essay and demanded a refund. The article raises concerns about transparency and trust in student-teacher relationships. Is it fair for students to pay for human instruction and receive machine-generated comments?

In my opinion, the student had a right to be frustrated, but I do think there is a difference between using AI once you have mastered a genre of writing (like if you have a PhD and already know how to write comments on student essays) and using AI when you are still learning about specific types of writing. Though, I think it's kind of impossible to make that determination for everyone, so I'm not really sure who is right and who is wrong here...

The example I chose is the article “AI Has Done Far More Harm Than Good in My Classroom” on Edweek.org by Lauren Boulanger and this article is about a high school English teacher's experience with AI in her classroom. It starts off with her mentioning she joined her district’s artificial intelligence committee and many of the people on the committee embraced the use of AI rather than thinking of the possibility of AI doing more harm than good.

Throughout the article Ms.Boulanger shares her experience with students possibly using AI in her classroom and how easily her students can use AI to avoid cognitive labor in assignments. These concerns caused Ms. Boulanger to question her students honesty in their work and wonder if the use of AI could deprive her students from collaboration and replace it with a chatbot. Though Ms. Boulanger believes that AI can be used by students in an ethical manner, she knows that it doesn’t mean that they will use it ethically.

This scenario raises the question: Does AI deprive students of the ability to communicate with other people?

In my opinion I believe that AI has a great chance to deprive students of communication with one another due to the fact that the constant use of phones already affects them. I think this because with Chat bots such as ChatGPT it makes it very easy for a student to copy and paste an AI made piece of writing such as an email, essay, and an answer to a question. And I agree with Ms. Boulanger that having an AI chat bot answer all of your questions, it takes away the opportunity to converse with an actual person and gain a real answer rather than a generated answer made from the internet that could possibly be false or biased.

In this example producer and consumer are involved. Concerns that are raised in this are if AI is better than talking to an actual human. Is AI the right technology for fast food service? Why is the food industry going so high tech? Is AI in professional communication an assistant or a replacement? Ethical questions this example raises is if AI is replacing jobs for humans, will AI slowly cause the world to be mute? My opinion is that AI shouldn't have a place in the fast food/ producer/consumer industry. I think it will have a negative impact ultimately on human interaction and employment.

Media conglomerate Penske is suing Google because they blame Google's AI summaries for a loss in traffic to their websites. Penske claims that if they don't allow their content to be used by Google AI to create summaries, that their websites are omitted from Google's search engine results. Other publishers say that Google has an inappropriate amount of leverage because of their market ubiquity. This article depicts a kind of Catch-22 for publishers. Can they remain viable if they allow Google to poach their content for free? But if they resist can they survive without the traffic prompted by Google search results?

In my opinion publishers should be compensated for content. But does that mean that our search results will only show information from publishers that have made deals with AI companies? Won't that stifle independent information? Will my search results be censored by financial dealings and biased based on the opinions of the CEO of whichever AI search engine I interact with?

South Australian public schools have officially launched EdChat, an AI chatbot created with Microsoft, after a pilot with 10,000 students since 2023. Students use it to ask homework questions, while teachers use it for lesson planning and report writing. Supporters say it saves teachers time and gives students extra help outside class. Concerns raised include whether students might rely too much on AI and lose critical thinking skills, if the chatbot might give inaccurate answers, and how student data will be protected. Some teachers also worry it could eventually replace some of their work.

This example raises important ethical questions: How do we balance AI support with keeping teachers involved? How do we ensure the information is accurate and unbiased? In my opinion, EdChat can be a great tool if used responsibly—with clear rules about privacy, teacher oversight, and making sure students still think for themselves.

This article talks about how schools are dealing with students using AI for assignments. The issue discussed is that some detection tools have accused students of cheating even when they didn’t use AI at all. Teachers are split because some see AI as a helpful support while others think it takes away from learning. I was surprised to learn how inaccurate AI detecting software can be and how unfair those false accusations can be towards honest students producing their own work. Personally I think AI is fine to an extent, if students are honest about it and if the instructor allows it in the course however the policies should be clear so no one gets blamed for something they didn’t do.

In this example, I read that a teacher Ludrick Cooper who is an eighth grade teacher in South Carolina has begun the use of AI in his classroom, and is not the only teacher beginning to do so. As I read further into the article I learned that OpenAI announced a partnership with Instructor which is a learning platform used by millions of students. First Lady Melania Trump has also made statements encouraging the use of AI to "address community challenges". Some concerns raised in this example was that some experts are worried about the risks of the access to AI having to d with making cheating easier, and worsening students. Lauren Monaco asks "Who benefits from this?". ASU's Lake asks "What are students going to nee to be successful in an AI economy once they get out there?".

Personally I feel that AI has its benefits and its downsides. In some ways AI can be very helpful for a quick responses and help but I also believe that once we rely on it too much it takes away from people truly using their minds to think and learn. I feel eventually with AI getting stronger it will create lazier humans.

In this article, Muhammad Tuhin explains the advantages and disadvantages of using AI in the classroom, as well as the future of AI's impact on education. Some of the benefits he used were AI use of collecting and analyzing of student progress to inform teachers of areas of strengths and weaknesses of each student, a personalized education for each student, and saving teacher time by grading assignments quicker so teachers can be present and facilitate their students' educational outcome. The disadvantages of AI use in education are student data privacy and accessibility.

He uses historical evidence to strengthen his view point that AI is shaping the future of education. For example, he says that ". . . exams and essays have always been the primary method for evaluating students' progress. . . . methods often fail to capture the full scope of a student's capabilities and learning journey." Not only can AI evaluate their educational journey, it can determine a student's soft skills as well. He also addresses the audience thoughts/fears that AI is going to take over the teaching profession by stating that AI cannot bring all the essential elements it takes to be a teacher (i.e., empathy).

Some of the ethical issues he addresses are how are schools going to keep all their students' information safe and the accessibility of students/schools in areas where internet/computers is sparse.

After reading this article, I have changed my mind on AI use in the classroom. Before reading this article, I was saying that there should be no AI use in the classroom because I didn't understand the benefits of using it both as a student and as an educator. I like the idea that it can bring to your attention your strengths and weakness and assign you basic information on the portions you are struggling with and give you more challenging assignments on subject that you excel in.

In this example, Wichita Public school has adopted AI into their school curriculum. The teachers their have integrated it into their lesson plan with positive feedback like more student engagements and also more efficient lesson plans. Also they have used AI to reach out too students many students first language is not English or they are not as advanced in English so they use AI to help reach out to these kids and make plans just for them allowing them to cater to one person without spending too many resources. In addition it also allows them to connect to family by creating messages and a regular outline of when to message families and what to message them and deepening the bond between family and school. Lastly the admin also use it to market and gather data faster and more reliably since AI makes less mistakes then human when collecting data and it allows them to be efficient. - Pritpal Bal

In this example, college students and professors are both being affected by AI usage. In the video, the professors are using AI systems like Turn-It-In to submit student essays and getting a result that the majority of it is being flagged as plagiarism. In this example, a college student almost lost his scholarship because the system made it seem like he plagiarized his assignment. If the student did not fight back and showing his Google Docs showing with updates and time stamps of him doing his work, he would have lost his scholarship and would have been kicked out of school. The concerns and debates that were raised in this example are that AI is not always correct, even though most people would think it is because it is a smart computer system that has a lot of knowledge. AI could say that anything is plagiarized when it’s not, or vice versa it could be plagiarized, and the AI system would say it is not. An ethical question this example raises is “Why are AI platforms saying there are high levels of plagiarism in student writing and assignments?” or “What platforms can teachers and professors use that will show a more accurate representation of their students' work?” My opinion on this is that we should be careful using any AI platforms when submitting an assignment and always have evidence backing up your work in case the AI systems want to say that your work is plagiarized. I would honestly say I do not recommend the usage of AI.

In my example Ai has been becoming more student focused, by having apps like Duolingo to learn new languages. Also Age of learning providing the basic math and reading from ages pre-k to 2nd grade. I got my information from "22 AI in education Example to know" by Alyssa Schroe. She was giving examples where Ai is being used as a educational purpose and helpful. I believe it raises a concern that if Ai is all over the place now, and children are being taught by Ai what will become of the future? Will we just stop being social and glued to a screen and not another human being ? I do think its a great tool to have but should limit the use of Ai, because then people will just get adapted to it.

In this example of how AI is being used in education, it details how teachers feel about the rise of AI in K-12 education settings. Educators are involved as far as how integrating AI into learning strategies will affect how they teach, and students regarding how they will learn. Major concerns raised in this example are about how a student's ability to experiment, think critically, and learn will be jeopardized. Some educators fear that AI will have a negative impact, while others embrace it. It raises ethical questions concerning whether it can be controlled, how it would be controlled and what policies are put in place to guide users. In my opinion automated answers should never be trusted. As a student I think it is very important to do tedious research and always fact check information. Only then after should you utilize an AI platform for good measure. I was leaning more towards how AI will have adverse effects on how students learn, but after reading how educators embrace it and why, it leaves me feeling a bit divided on the issue. I need to learn more about these platforms and utilize one to truly understand how it works. - Victoria Latchison

In this example two teachers explain how AI can benefit teachers and students in classrooms if used responsibly. Some debates that were raised in this video were that AI is not a solution to educational challenges and not a replacement for student and teacher thinking. Which some people may argue and say that is exactly what AI is doing. A question this video may raise is if working with artificial intelligence too often will decrease the ability to do critical thinking on your own. My opinion about this video was that there are many ways to use AI and I think all the tips they gave out were very useful for both students and teachers. They also kept reminding us to cite the AI tool we use if we use one and to remember AI is used to support us not think for us, which I completely agree with.

In this example we have CNBC, which is a news outlet talking to Sal Khan from Khan Academy, which is a non profit education platform about how they are using AI to help students and teachers. They talked about how they use Ai to create a tutor called Khamigo. For the teachers they are creating an AI tool to help them create lesson plans and analyze student work. The concern that was raised was what if they used the Ai to cheat or write the papers for them. This raises ethical questions about fairness and trust. My opinion about this is that students who want to cheat will always find a way to cheat whether it's AI or not .

In this example business communication employees talk about how AI is really useful for their jobs. They were talking about how they liked AI in communications such as using it to send emails. They used it to help form better ideas and more efficient ways to articulate their emails. They more so used it for a good starting point and then made the email their own. I feel like the way they used AI was beneficial while still maintaining authenticity. Since she mentioned that she still made the email her own and changed a lot from what the AI gave her. All the AI did was help her get started and gave some good ideas. It also allows foreign speakers to us AI to speak more effectively and confidently. It helps by allowing the foreign speakers to express their thoughts in their language and have it be translated with the help of AI.

This news story covers a math teacher who utilizes a mix of AI and human tutoring at an all boys school in Pittsburgh. The story touches on how many schools in the US are worried about the effects that AI tools can have on students' academic integrity, as well as how it can affect the job's of school instructors. The primary question that the story raise is, if there is a place for AI in schools, and if the use of AI tools in schools could cost tutors their jobs. The story interviews several students as well as their math teacher, with the teacher's position being that there will always be a need for human learning in the education space, and how not only does the AI tools help students learn, but also help him learn how to challenge and reinforce the subjects he's teaching to his students on a personal level. I find this article to have a refreshing take on AI in the learning space, which doesn't strike worry in me about younger individuals learning. I personally find the approach to the use of AI in this story to be exclusively beneficial, both to the students and the teachers.

As you can read in this article that having AI is not a good in education but using it is not that bad either. In the article it starts by telling you the advantages of using Ai in education. Ai can inspire creativity in students and the more you use it the more the computer will have a history of what you worked on and help you improve in things (subjects). AI will be around education and it will grow with in the years. With a good out come in some parts of having teacher and students and administration use AI there is a down side of it. Just a few things they write in here is there will be less interaction with teacher and students when they reply on this kind of work. There is also Academic Misconduct, just like we talked about in this class, some people miss use this and cheat and plagiarism is used just to pass the class. Students don't want to Putin the work of studying or put in the work to pass the class. I feel like there needs to be a limit on all this work and how it is used. Teachers I know are trying their best on catching students when they use this programs but I feel there should be a better way on how the students use it and the out come on using this kinds of programs.

In my personal example I found from Forbes, Ai is beginning to transform the workplace, particularly for jobs involving repetitive tasks like data entry, bookkeeping, and administrative work, according to the Forbes article "These Jobs Will Fall First As AI Takes Over The Workplace" Business executives are concerned about how quickly this change is occurring, who will be most impacted, and whether workers will have time to retrain or acquire new skills. Experts from organizations like McKinsey and the World Economic Forum warn that many of these jobs could disappear or completely change. This brings up some important ethical issues, such as whether it is just for businesses to replace human workers with machines and what obligations employers and governments have to assist individuals in adapting.
