An assumption and a warning about AI

[Redleg]

6. Good info.

As a university professor, we are still trying to get a handle on how to use AI to promote student learning and also help ourselves with our academic research. The main AI tools have gotten better in regard to the reliability and validity of the output, so long as the prompts are well-constructed.

The caveat is that writing effective prompts and reviewing the output requires some degree of knowledge or expertise in the field.

My concern overall is that companies are in such a rush to use AI that they may not have thought through how best to use it or the ethical considerations of using it. As with any technology, it can be used for good or ill.
