A new set of principles has been created to help universities ensure students and staff are ‘AI literate’ so they can capitalise on the opportunities technological breakthroughs provide for teaching and learning. The statement, published today (4 July) and backed by the 24 Vice Chancellors of the Russell Group, will shape institution and course-level work to support the ethical and responsible use of generative AI, new technology and software like ChatGPT. Developed in partnership with AI and educational experts, the new principles recognise the risks and opportunities of generative AI and commit Russell Group universities to helping staff and students become leaders in an increasingly AI-enabled world. The five principles set out in today’s joint statement are: Universities will support students and staff to become AI-literate. Staff should be equipped to support students to use generative AI tools effectively and appropriately in their learning experience. Universities will adapt teaching and assessment to incorporate the ethical use of generative AI and support equal access. Universities will ensure academic rigour and integrity is upheld. Universities will work collaboratively to share best practice as the technology and its application in education evolves.
This working paper discusses the risks and benefits of generative AI for teachers and students in writing, literature, and language programs and makes principle-driven recommendations for how educators, administrators, and policy makers can work together to develop ethical, mission-driven policies and support broad development of critical AI literacy
My initial research suggests that just six months after Open AI gave the world access to AI, we are already seeing the emergence of a significant AI-Education divide. If the current trend that continues, there is a very real risk that - rather than democratising education - the rise of AI will widen the digital divide and deepen socio-economic inequality. In this week’s blog post I’ll share some examples of how AI has impacted negatively on education equity and - on a more positive note - suggest some ways to reverse this trend and decrease, rather than increase, the digital and socio-economic divide.

Since its introduction less than a year ago, ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence platform that can write essays, solve math problems and write computer code, has sparked an anguished debate in the world of education. Is it a useful research tool or an irresistible license to cheat? Stella Tan, a producer on The Daily, speaks to teachers and students as they finish their first semester with ChatGPT about how it is changing the classroom.
Generative A.I.’s specialty is language — guessing which word comes next — and students quickly realized that they could use ChatGPT and other chatbots to write essays. That created an awkward situation in many classrooms. It turns out, it’s easy to get caught cheating with generative A.I. because it is prone to making stuff up, a phenomena known as “hallucinating.” But generative A.I. can also be used as a study assistant. Some tools make highlights in long research papers and even answer questions about the material. Others can assemble study aids, like quizzes and flashcards.

Artificial intelligence and language studying blend seamlessly when it comes to online education. Already a key component of sectors such as eCommerce, FinTech, and marketing, AI is quickly becoming standard practice in education. Online education has become a revolution en masse. With the accelerated introduction of AI to foreign language learning, we are now experiencing a similar paradigm shift. AI-powered language studying combined with the use of neural network capabilities is resulting in a new era of education for students and teachers alike. But how exactly can you use AI to improve learning outcomes for your students?

Se suele decir que durante un curso escolar o universitario los profesores se deben adaptar a multitud de cambios. Esa frase, sin embargo, nunca había conocido un curso como este. A finales de noviembre, OpenAI liberó a todo el mundo ChatGPT. Una avanzada inteligencia artificial que, a través de su modelo de lenguaje, podía llegar a manos de cualquier con una conexión a internet. Y sí, eso incluye a millones de profesores y alumnos, ante los cuales se abría un nuevo mundo con la entrada de ChatGPT en la educación.
