Frustrated by academic bias against AI tools?
If you’re using AI for writing, reviewers might be working against you.
But most reviewers can't tell if your research paper was written by AI.
(This changes how we think about academic writing)
Here's what my research team discovered (new article published):
🏫 While children return to schools, the debate whether smartphones are helpful or harmful for them heightens.
📱Prof Sonia Livingstone @Livingstone_S of @MediaLSE explains how smartphones can help children learn and manage their daily lives.
"We’d fallen prey to the comforting illusion that shiny new technology would solve everything."
"Before we jump headlong into the dream of a humanitarian techno-utopia, we must remember who it is we’re serving and what is at stake." #AIEthics

Skepticism about AI should be considered a crucial part of AI literacy, not a problem to be solved. In a meeting about AI professional development for educators, I was concerned to hear a question to the effect of "How do we win over the AI skeptics?"
Yes, it makes sense to invite people to engage with AI...but can we do that in a way that welcomes honest responses, including negative ones? It's worthwhile to look for bias, inaccuracies, and AI hype. Faculty reservations are worth exploring.
#FranzKafka passed away 100 years ago today. His literary genius continues to inspire and challenge. "Logic may indeed be unshakeable, but it cannot withstand a man who is determined to live." #Kafka#Writers#legacy#AI#AILiteracy#Human#Algorithms https://t.co/RfAt9eIgDH
“we found that the convincing and authoritative tone of the AI chatbots gave even the best students the impression that the output was accurate and true. In some courses, students produced lower quality work when relying on chatbots too much...��� https://t.co/xcgA9hUp7N
