Some people fear this could backfire, as generative AI doesn’t have the best reputation for accuracy. Likewise, it may miss key nuances that are relevant to certain coursework.
Then, there’s also the question of what happens when students use artificial intelligence to create content, only for teachers to then use artificial intelligence to assess and grade the work. If this becomes common across even a sizable amount of universities, some people may feel less inclined to pay for this with hefty student loans.
How will AI use impact colleges and universities moving forward?
At this time, higher education facilities will have to set their own rules on what goes when it comes to AI. Some colleges and universities are working on this in real time; though many unknowns still exist.
Protocols that are either too lax or too restrictive could each lead to avoidable disasters later down the line. It’s for this reason that some officials believe higher education institutions shouldn’t be too hasty in working out guidelines for AI use.
