Most college and universities drench students in the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion messaging that helps the “progressives” capture their minds. Instead of that, how about teaching students what is and is not acceptable when it comes to the use of artificial intelligence?
In today’s Martin Center article, Sophia Damian makes that case.
She writes:
Despite the high rates of AI usage among undergraduates, however, new surveys have found that many of them are concerned about the ubiquity of AI in higher education. Although this advanced technology can greatly aid learning and research if used properly, some students are worried about the ways in which misuse of this new tool might negatively impact their college education. At the same time, many students are worried that they haven’t received sufficient training in the new technology. Universities, it seems, have done little to allay students’ worries about AI.
Part of the educational responsibility of schools is to inform students about the academic rules, among them the line between acceptable usage of tools like AI, and unacceptable plagiarism. College leaders ought to make that a priority and forget about DEI.
