The following two pieces both address the question of whether the use of generative AI tools (tools which use artificial intelligence to produce new content) such as ChatGPT should be encouraged within Higher Education.
Why You Shouldn’t Use ChatGPT (Mitchell-Yellin, 2023)
Integrating Generative AI into Higher Education: Considerations (Hodges and Ocak, 2023)
Read each article and then consider these questions:
- Which article do you think is the most persuasive, and why?
- Is there anything obviously missing from either article? You may find it useful to think back to the discussion of evaluating research reports in the previous step.
- Does either article convince you that the authors are correct? If so, which evidence convinced you?
- If you have already made a decision about the use of generative AI in your context, which evidence did you draw on when making that decision?
