Academics are increasingly aware of the disruptive effect that generative AI tools like ChatGPT are having on education – but gaps remain in understanding how to respond. Educators may mistakenly rely on ineffective detection methods, potentially leading to ethical pitfalls and unfair academic practices. At the same time, students typically have a deeper, more practical understanding of the latest AI tools. This workshop aims to bridge these knowledge gaps by critically examining limitations and ethical dilemmas in detection methods, and then introducing educators to the latest AI tools available to students. Participants will explore authentic student perspectives gathered from academic studies, social media, and discussion forums, gaining practical insights to ethically navigate the evolving landscape of generative AI.
Key points covered
- Demonstrations of the limitations of AI detection methods (human judgement and digital tools)
- Ethical considerations and biases associated with attempts at AI detection
- Overview and demonstration of popular AI tools beyond ChatGPT
- Real examples and insights into student AI practices gathered from academic studies, social media and discussion forums
