I came across this interesting article that talks about the implications of AI in education that aren’t just about cheating, but also educational equality. AI presents a threat to equity in education with some people having access to AI tools like ChatGPT, but some others don’t. How is it fair that one student could spend hours trying to write an essay that another student could just ask ChatGPT and probably even get a better version of? Not to mention, the new versions of ChatGPT are also charging for use now.
There’s also mention of ChatGPT threatening diversity of languages and culture, since oral languages pose difficulties for computer code and may be missed edge cases that are difficult to deal with in programming the AI. A very interesting read!
