by Jami Walters and Guinevieve Tran–

Artificial Intelligence or AI software has always been around but in the recent year, it has made its appearance more prevalent in student’s work whether it be tests or essays. According to the Office of Educational Technology, even some teachers are finding useful ways to incorporate AI use by finding, choosing and adapting material for use in their lessons. There has been big debates about whether the use of AI can hinder or benefit such work. Do you think it hinders or benefits college academic life?

There are a lot of mixed answers in regards to whether it hinders or benefits, students find that it helps them create a basis for their work for them to expand on their writing. While on the other hand, some students believe that it takes away the human aspect of their writing, it doesn’t seem personal nor show its true creative ability. However, with technology continuing to advance, it looks like AI isn’t going anywhere. It’s continuing to provide equitable education to all students and it can create new learning styles for many.
