Using Artificial Intelligence Ethically and Responsibly
Luanne M. Amato, Christine Schoettle
Abstract
Within the 21st century technology explosion, higher education is facing its greatest challenge to managing students' ethical conduct in completing course assignments. This challenge, known as artificial intelligence (AI), is also one of higher education's greatest assets. This chapter will introduce AI, explain its tools and resources, and its positive contribution to education. It will also identify how students are using chatbot resources unethically, which has become a topic of concern for faculty, with the increased usage and inability to detect plagiarism. The chapter will also explain how faculty education in AI can promote the positive aspects of AI innovation and at the same time help to mitigate student ethical issues. The chapter will showcase an actual course redesign using AI best practices. Finally, the chapter will identify future research needed to explore how AI innovations partnered with course design can increase student learning while ensuring attention to ethical standards.
