Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing education, especially in how feedback is delivered and how assessment is managed. When used thoughtfully, AI can enhance learning but it also raises important ethical and professional considerations.
AI for Feedback
AI can provide immediate responses to student work, which is one of its greatest strengths. Instead of waiting days for feedback, students can receive instant comments on writing structure, grammar, organization, or even clarity. Research shows AI-driven systems can deliver consistent and personalized feedback that helps students understand areas for improvement. (Alfaleh, 2026)
Academic Integrity & Ethics
AI systems learn from existing data, which can include historical bias or limited representation. Tools often require student work to be processed by external servers, raising data protection concerns.
My Perspective
I would use AI to enhance, not replace. For example:
- AI can draft initial feedback loops
- Teachers then refine the suggestions with deeper insights
- Students are taught how to use AI ethically and transparently
To support this, institutions should include AI literacy training for both students and educators, as recommended by research on ethical AI use in education (ENAI, 2023)
Boundaries I Would Set
- AI should NEVER assign final grades without teacher review
- Students must disclose when AI was used in their work
- Clear privacy protections must be in place
- AI should support feedback, but human evaluation must remain central
Thank you for the organized blog post including what AI does and your opinion. I agree that Ai should NEVER assign final grades, as well as students need to disclose when using AI. How do we know if they used AI and did not disclose it?

ReplyDeleteHi Kayly,
I think the boundaries you would set with the use of AI in the classroom are really good. I agree that AI should never be used to give grades without the input of the teacher. There's something that has to be considered when grading students that I feel like AI would understand. I also really like that you said that "AI should enhance , not replace. I feel like AI definitely has to be implemented into classrooms but in a positive way and I think by setting boundaries like you mention can definitely help.
