Instead of infusing AI into all ed tech because of hype and FOMO, we need to look for specific cases where integrating AI can at once stimulate student skepticism of AI outputs, meet an existing learning need, and not interfere with good pedagogy. #AIliteracy #AIineducation

[Tyler Austin Harper @Tyler_A_Harper]

I have not heard this discussed much, but this point is spot on. Colleges and universities cannot sell themselves as bastions of environmental sustainability while also encouraging students and faculty to see ChatGPT as a learning tool they should integrate into their work.

[Steve Price @Steve_R_Price]

One of my biggest concerns right now about AI in the classroom is how AI views writing. Writing = a mundane chore that AI can eliminate; generic writing is fine. If we’re not careful, the tool controls our narratives about the value of writing, both the process and the product.

[Reid Southen @Rahll]

Rarely have I seen AI described so succinctly.

Alright, I'm gonna say it:

I am an AI in Education skeptic.

I think there are ethical, legal, and environmental issues with the use of AI that need clarification, at the least, before schools start promoting the use of AI.

You’ve probably heard a lot about AI, but here’s something you might not know.

OII Professor Mark Graham (@geoplace) discusses the gruelling manual labour and psychologically harmful conditions faced by millions of workers around the globe that power the our AI systems.

A fascinating paper by @lynxlynxly @MJBroersma on online machine learning courses from Google and IBM and their impact on the field of practice. The study sheds light on technical knowledge, assumptions, and economic interests of these companies. https://t.co/5ex3cgpjWG
