AI Is Eroding Student-Teacher Trust
from All of the Above Podcast · host All of the Above
Today on AOTA Shorts: You’ve probably thought about the consequences of AI in school -- cheating, making us dumber, rampant and undetectable plagiarism, making learning obsolete -- and if you’re on top of it, you’ve probably also thought about the devastating climate and ecological impacts on school communities. But a recent article explores a new facet of the challenges with AI, the deep erosion of trust between students and teachers. Presumptions of guilt and big brother academic policing techniques are just the beginning. AI is perhaps the largest scale social experiment we’ve ever conducted on the human population, and it’s happening in real time, with no meaningful safeguards, transparency, or regulation. And it’s not going well so far. Manuel and Jeff discuss!Woah, new format! AOTA Shorts give a brief, quick-hitting breakdown of a single story in this increasingly wild world of education that you can enjoy in the car, at work, or in those precious minutes of down time you (maybe) get during your busy day.
