educ-AI-tion

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly common tool for students and teachers alike, raising important questions about ethics, academic integrity, and its hindrance to creativity. This project explores how AI can be integrated into education to enhance learning while maintaining academic integrity, instead of outright banning its use in classrooms. Independent surveys and field research provide insights into how AI is being used in academic settings, where the line is drawn between assistance and cheating, and whether AI is improving or undermining education. Using this data, along with research on AI ethics, a proposed solution called GPTeach was developed. GPTeach is an AI tool designed to support learning without compromising critical thinking. This solution emphasizes streamlining the teaching process, educating students about responsible use and personalizing the learning experience to fit the strengths and weaknesses of each student.
