Design, Science and Technology

With recent developments in generative AI, the question of ethical content creation and the use of human-made content has come into question. And while the generative AI industry is still in its infancy, many companies must take measures to balance automation with original high-quality content.

It’s still very early to tell which direction the generative AI industry will take and what limitations will be placed on generative AI platforms. So for now, companies using this technology are the ones responsible for guaranteeing ethical use and protecting the rights of content creators. Here is how some companies can find a balance between automation and originality.

The difference we have with ChatGPT is that it doesn’t so much present a threat to the university experience, but rather directly into the heart of the purpose of a university education – its ability to ‘teach you how to think’. There have been shadows of this in the past, for instance the hostility towards Wikipedia (Coomer 2013), the emergence of essay mills, not to mention simple, now common place tools such as spell checkers and calculators. I remember vividly a very angry professor in the early 2000s telling me that reading lists with hyperlinks would make students baby birds, with wide open mouths expecting to be spoon fed. We’ve pretty much moved through all those advancements in technology and realised their benefits, but this one, I would argue, is different. Not because it does not have its benefits, but because of the sheer volume and scale of what’s coming will be meaningfully different and ultimately challenge the foundations upon which we measure that ability to think – university assessment.

Right now, people in Higher Ed are freaking out about ChatGPT. It would be interesting to see what we think of it, 1-2 years down the road. Will it still be perceived as the destroyer of higher education assessment as we know it or just another tool to add to our teaching arsenal? It wasn't all that long ago that faculty and legislators were calling for Wikipedia to be banned on university computers.
