The Opposite of Cheating Podcast (Season 2) Episode 26: Christopher Ostro
from The Opposite of Cheating · host Drs. Tricia Bertram Gallant & David Rettinger
“The most horrifying student question I see in ChatGPT is: What should I think about this?” "Students don’t care about privacy like we do. As one said: My mom’s ultrasound pictures are on Facebook.” In this 25th episode of The Opposite of Cheating Podcast, Tricia (after mistakenly saying Chris got a shout out on Hard Fork when it really was on Uncanny Valley!) delves into the grey area with Chris Ostro on how GenAI shapes student engagement with course learning outcomes, whether using AI Detection undermines student-faculty relationships, and what many get wrong about trust, punishment and the “I can tell” fallacy. With candid nuance, Chris challenges to rethink our responsibility for integrity not as "surveillance" but as a commitment to intentional course/assessment design, speaking with students, and figuring this out together. Christopher Ostro is an AI-Focused Assistant Teaching Professor and Course Designer at the University of Colorado Boulder.
