AI in Education

Hi,

I tend to subjectively agree with the evidence presented in both articles but I would have to say Hodges and Ocak (2023) offer a more persuasive argument. They reason argument with comprehensive, reliable evidence for and against the integration of AI in education to support their point of inevitability. The guidance they cite is useful for us to think about legal and ethical frameworks.

Although I do agree with Mitchell-Yellin (2023) that AI will be counterproductive in terms of learner and societal health, it would be a bit like giving back the car for horse and carts. Increased well-being is never going to win over increased productivity in evolving modern societies, as sad as that is. They do have a compelling argument though and they could have cited evidence sources and increased the ‘face value’ of their article.

This is also what I suspect. No cogitating, no learning.
