 AI Use in Feedback

AI is changing the ways that both students and educators both can go about receiving feedback on both lessons and their work. Changing the way for teachers that they may be able to grade students work and for students changing the way that they may be able to revise and check their work for accuracy in a timely and meaningful way.

Even the greatest tools have limitations of course, and no one tool no matter how great is able to complete every task as well as other tools. In terms of AI the tool is only as good as the information that it has been trained on of course. And this information can of course be tainted in one way or another. Inaccuracy and bias are ever present in all online discourse. But the benefit of the utilization of AI outweighs its own shortcomings which I have no doubt will improve as time goes on.

Academic Integrity & Ethics

Educators should as stated above obviously be wary of many different factors when engaging with the use of AI, primarily bias and accuracy. Any AI tool is only as good as the information that it has been trained on and provided. ie what it has access to dictates it's accuracy and bias. In terms of privacy it has long been known that one who uses the internet should never post anything they would not want others sharing ie anything about themselves they want to keep private. And lastly originality is where AI will inevitably struggle the most, as it at this very moment is more or less incapable of synthesis of information.

This section I will pose a question to Chat GPT.

AI is powerful—but it should augment, not replace, human judgment. There are critical areas where human oversight must remain essential because AI lacks moral responsibility, lived experience, empathy, and contextual wisdom.

Education & Student Evaluation

AI can grade or personalize learning—but:

• It cannot mentor.

• It cannot fully understand emotional or developmental needs.

Teachers must guide:

• Academic integrity decisions

• Student growth evaluation

• Emotional and social development

My Perspective

Ultimately I believe in the possibility of the future AI can provide for Educators and many other fields as well. AI possesses great potential for assessments in education without a doubt but it cannot at this moment in time be used for discussions on Ethics or growth as a student, and I would use AI simply for asking help put together for example a list, if I was to write a paper in a history class what were some of the most notable revolutions in the 20th century and how did they change the countries which they occurred and review this information with the links that the tool has provided. It is a wonderful way to gather information but the synthesis is in the hands of the student and educator both.

I think that in terms of boundary's the limitation that is set for this course is a solid one where the use of AI is recognized but in a supplemental manner where it may not take the bulk of the work in any sense but instead be used as the tool it is intended as and may make up a small percent 1/5 of the overall text seems more than reasonable.
