Artificial Intelligence - Friend or Foe in Academia: The Ethics of Aiding or Hampering Academic Learning and Literacy

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being evaluated by academics for what it can bring to the students as a tool, an instrumental aid, or as an unethical device that can derail the student’s critical thinking skills. This poster session is to cultivate useful dialog around AI and its application in academia. This is a thought provoking topic that will engage others and spark reflection on AI and how it may help or harm the academic pursuits. For this project, the use of AI will be researched in a classroom setting through student surveys and assignments starting in fall 2023.
