Description
There has been a steady stream of technological innovation in education, most of it beneficial to teaching and learning. The same holds true for my field of history. The access to teaching materials and sources available on the internet to today’s teachers and students was unimaginable just two decades ago. I will provide examples of some of these sources and experiences.
But the advent of AI and its uses in education and writing is, to use an overused phrase, a game changer that brings enormous challenges to teaching and learning. It is a change not only of a different magnitude but also a different dimension. Challenges include the continued erosion of skills in research, analysis, even reading capabilities; and newer challenges such as the generalized inability to discern between reality and fabrication. This, of course, poses potential threats to society and democratic governance.
