Accesible/capable AI is also why teachers are going to have to stop grading on “getting the right answer” and start incorporating more “show your reasoning” questions in exams without access to AI. Education will have to adapt to this new technology like it’s had to adapt to all new technology.
To be honest, done correctly this may actually be a net positive if we stop optimizing learners only for correct answers and instead focus on the actual process of learning.
I could see a class where the students were encouraged to explore a topic with AI and have to submit their transcript as part of the assignment; their prompts could then be reviewed (along with the AI answers to verify that there weren’t any mistakes that snuck in). Could give a lot of insight into the way a student approached the topic and show where their gaps are. Not saying this is the ultimate solution, but it does seem better than throwing up one’s hands in resignation.
