In some American educational institutions, chatbots are being used more frequently to assess students’ work
Interestingly, tools like ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) models are gaining popularity not only among students. For example, Diana Gajeski, a professor at Ithaca College, mentioned in a conversation with CNN that she now grades her students’ essays using ChatGPT, which assists her in assigning grades.
The scientific community has not yet reached a consensus on the use of AI in education. Dorothy Leidner, a business ethics professor at the University of Virginia, believes that neural networks will help teachers evaluate work faster and more consistently, avoiding excessive workload. However, she notes that teachers will need to consider the individual characteristics of each student.
Leslie Lane, a specialist from the University of Lynchburg in Virginia, warns that chatbots may infringe upon students’ intellectual property. She believes that materials should not be uploaded without prior notification to the students.
Nicholas Frank, a philosophy lecturer at the University of Lynchburg, points out that AI tends to simplify, and this aspect needs to be taken into account. He also emphasizes that no one knows yet how deeply neural networks will be integrated into everyday life in the future.
