Have you used AI applications before? If you have, what have you used them for? 

AI applications have become a part of our daily routine. I have used various AI tools like Chat GPT, Google Bard, Luminar, etc. The AI tool that I have used the most is Chat GPT. I use it to take ideas for assignments and research projects, as it helps me out a lot and saves a ton of time. Many essays that are two thousand words or more and take days to be done can be done in no time because these AI tools can write most of it in no time and that too with only the specific questions to be answered. The information that Chat provides is not always up to date, there are many factors to be taken into condition, and it doesn’t keep up with almost everything. These AI tools have made our lives easier in one way or the other, whether it’s code writing assignments or essays.

What apps have you come across that are not in the Explore section that you’ve found useful?

The apps that I have found useful are Hemingway and Grammarly AI which is used by editors to improve writing quality by recommending stylistic changes and assuring clarity and conciseness. AI techniques are utilized to better monitor environmental changes, anticipate weather patterns, and manage natural resources.

What guidelines do you think should be in place to guide their use in an educational institution? What factors should be considered?

The guidelines that should be added in my opinion, especially in chat get are that “the information provided could also be wrong “, one person shouldn’t rely on this thing only, rather they should just take ideas from these AI tools and contemplate them in one way or the other that the information provided by these tools are correct or not. Strict procedures should be in place to protect students and staff’s privacy. This involves ensuring that personal data is handled and stored securely, as well as ensuring that AI technologies conform to rules technologies should also be flexible to the demands of various learners and instructors. They should provide customizable choices to accommodate varied learning methods and abilities. One of the few problems that I face almost every day is that these tools get so carryforward that they also ask for a few things that are sometimes confidential to others like email IDs and passwords. They also ask for full access to certain things which should not be the case, if someone doesn’t want to share some information, they can’t use that specific AI tool. The ethical concerns of employing artificial intelligence in teaching should be carefully explored. This covers problems like as data permission, the possibility of bias in AI systems, and the influence on student autonomy.

How accurate or successful were the learning objects you created using the AI tools?

The AI tools that I have used have been of great use as they come up with innovative ideas that expanded my knowledge to a great extent. Some assignments have been done in no time and saved a lot of hard work for me, but there were a few assignments that got messed up because the information provided by these AI tools is not so accurate and one should solely not depend on it. They are accurate for various code-writing questions as we can just check whether we get the desired output or not, but when it comes to ideas and essays, it’s a gamble.

What ethical concerns do you have (or not have) about the use of some of these tools?

The ethical concerns of employing artificial intelligence in teaching should be carefully explored. This covers problems like as data permission and the possibility of bias in AI systems.

Have you come across any examples of data represented in a way that is false or misleading? How did you recognize that?

Yes, I have come across various examples from which I got to know that the information was false. For instance, I got the feedback from my professor that the information provided by me was completely false and because of that I got a 0 in the assignment which had a significant weightage in the course.
