"(...) I think challenges around the relevance and value of higher education are going to be compounded by AI. Many tasks performed by people in many jobs are going to be satisfactorily accomplished by AI agents (as we can already see). For example, if you've got a team of salespeople who are doing cold calling, outbound lead generation, you're going to replace most, if not all, of those people with AI agents, as companies are already doing. The whole ecosystem of higher education as we understand it now has to change. Other parts of the ecosystem are changing dramatically, and ecosystems have to stay in balance or bad things happen. Imagine if higher education hadn’t changed in response to the Internet? Imagine if we still stood in lines with cards to register for classes, etc. I think many people don’t appreciate how much about higher education changed because of the Internet. It will change more because of AI. "

One common theme throughout our initial conversations about AI with teachers are issues of time. Here, the primary narrative being pushed by school leaders and AI vendors is the idea of AI as a time-saver – taking on the burden of time-consuming but inessential tasks, and thereby ‘freeing up’ teachers “so you've got time to do other things…

Abstract Recent developments in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) have created a paradigm shift in multiple areas of society, and the use of these technologies is likely to become a defining feature of education in coming decades. GenAI offers transformative pedagogical opportunities, while simultaneously posing ethical and academic challenges. Against this backdrop, we outline a practical, simple, and sufficiently comprehensive tool to allow for the integration of GenAI tools into educational assessment: the AI Assessment Scale (AIAS). The AIAS empowers educators to select the appropriate level of GenAI usage in assessments based on the learning outcomes they seek to address. The AIAS offers greater clarity and transparency for students and educators, provides a fair and equitable policy tool for institutions to work with, and offers a nuanced approach which embraces the opportunities of GenAI while recognising that there are instances where such tools may not be pedagogically appropriate or necessary. By adopting a practical, flexible approach that can be implemented quickly, the AIAS can form a much-needed starting point to address the current uncertainty and anxiety regarding GenAI in education. As a secondary objective, we engage with the current literature and advocate for a refocused discourse on GenAI tools in education, one which foregrounds how technologies can help support and enhance teaching and learning, which contrasts with the current focus on GenAI as a facilitator of academic misconduct.

"One major complaint about the use of AI to generate articles and answers to real-world questions is that it “hallucinates” — that is, it makes up facts that aren’t true and creates references to articles that don’t exist. Although AI models like ChatGPT have improved in performing basic mathematics, they can still make errors, especially with more complex calculations. And they sometimes provide information that is imprecise or outdated when answering questions about the world. (...) The problem today isn’t that we can’t depend on computers. In fact, we can’t depend on any media without a system of fact-checking, critical thinking and trust. The problem is that, up to now, we have been able to depend on computers. And now this trust has been broken. The real question is, how will we get that trust back again?"

"We agree that AI should not be mystified. We agree that students should be taught to question it, prod it, and refuse to treat it like gospel. But here is where I push: it is not just about getting students to “understand” AI. It is about recognizing that AI already understands them — because it has been trained to. And it is already being embedded in schools in ways that make understanding secondary to compliance. This is not theoretical. This is happening."

The promise of ‘labour-saving’ technology is rarely straightforward.
