With regards to education AI should be heavily restricted and monitored for both students and teachers. If AI is used to complete an assignment that is grounds for plagiarism. This is because the student is copying work that isn't theirs which is the same as copying answers from google or another person. However; I think AI can be used as a tool, in the sense it would be used for studying. This is because AI is able to explain difficult topics to better understand, so I believe it's justified if a student used AI for that compared to using it to complete its work. Additionally if a student isn't allowed to use AI then the teacher should be held to the same standard. Especially in college when the students are paying for their education. It is expected when a student is paying their tuition they are being taught by the teacher not AI. When looking at the BPS proposal plan it does not directly mention the consequences educators could potentially have if they rely on generative AI for their curriculum plan and there should be a general baseline for what can be used and what shouldnt be used for AI. Specifically AI should not be used for opinion based writing, it takes away one's creative capabilities when they begin to use AI as a framework for completions of assignment. Additionally it proves to be harmful as students would begin to rely on AI time and time again worsening their capabilities to think for themselves. Another reason why this is harmful is because AI has access to all information on the web meaning there can be inaccurate information and if a student relies on this they could possibly be providing inaccurate facts on their work. A teacher should have a designated rubric for assignment completed with the aid of AI and without, this is because the work would not be able to compare so it's unfair for a student who has access to basic information to be graded on the same scale as a student who used AI. This problem could be fixed if teachers made assignments for AI and for no AI, to make students not rely on generative AI for their education.
I agree with this person's views on the use of AI in schools. It shouldn't be used for simply completing assignments, but it can be a useful tool for learning. I also agree that there should be rules for teachers too if students can't use AI. People go to and pay for college to get taught by teachers so it makes sense to expect work from said teacher. I like how this person addressed the issues of AI use in school and then included a possible solution to the issue. Although there has been lots of discouraging of AI use in school, there hasn't been a concrete plan in place to actually stop AI use. I agree that the worst instance to use AI is in opinion based writing, but that doesn't justify its use in other subjects. The idea of creating rubrics that outline the parameters for AI use in assignments is a good idea, but I don't think it would be very effective unfortunately. Many students use AI because it is an easy way to get work done, it isn't really a matter of whether they can or can't use it.
