If you’ve read your syllabus this semester, you’ll have noticed NAIT is beginning to allow AI in the classroom.
ChatGPT and other AI tools present a dilemma for use in education. A poor response from AI gives wrong information, but a good response becomes a great tool to cheat.
Even though AI in the classroom is not a solved issue, there are ways to use it responsibly, such as when studying.
“AI is still very much in its infancy, which means it stumbles a lot … so the great thing when using it as a study device is you have to look at the output with a critical eye which is helping you master your studying of that topic,” says Chris Black, NAITSA’s student involvement coordinator.
Black says ChatGPT’s imperfect performance can be useful as a study buddy, but for both moral and practical reasons, it can’t give all the answers.
