BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES IN USING AI-POWERED EDUCATIONAL TOOLS

Abstract

The introduction of large language model tools, such as Open AI’s ChatGPT in November 2022, has sparked considerable discussion on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Educators in both K-12 and post-secondary settings began to integrate AI in their classrooms during ongoing discussions about ethical technology use, maintaining academic integrity, safeguarding personal information, and other potential concerns. This poster discusses the current state of AI in education, exploring the various applications of AI in the classroom, the benefits and challenges that come with it, and the potential impact on students and educators. It highlights the role of AI in supporting personalized learning experiences, providing adaptive assessments, automating administrative tasks, and enhancing teaching and learning outcomes. Additionally, this poster examines the need to create effective university policies for AI to promote the ethical and responsible use of AI, reduce legal risks, and ensure a safe and inclusive learning environment for all students.
