Controversy over the use of AI (artificial intelligence) is burning again in US university streets. This time, the use of AI by professors, not students, has been on the cutting board.

Fortune reported on Wednesday that some students are raising problems with professors’ dependence on AI, as AI technology has been widely used for university classes and evaluation. In particular, as the use of AI is generalized for writing lectures, scoring tasks, and composition of class materials, concerns about the quality and transparency of education are increasing.

◇ “Students are punished for AI, professors are secretly used”… Equity

According to the US Education Data Research Institute, the average four -year university tuition fee is $ 17709 per year, and $ 28,445 (about 39.38 million won) based on public universities. Among the students who pay for such high tuition, there is a complaint that “AI is replacing the education to learn from people.”

In fact, the Rate My Professors, an online lecture evaluation site, is increasingly dissatisfied with the lecture that is too dependent on AI. One student who attended the North -Stone University confirmed that the professor used AI to prepare the class materials and filed an official complaint that required a tuition refund.

Professor Rob Anthony of the Graduate School of International Business School in the United States said, “It is becoming more and more common for professors to score as AI.” “Students are sensitive to grades, but professors are not. “As the number of automatic scoring using AI, almost the same feedback is provided to all students,” he added.

◇ “AI is AI?” Students who wrote AI before the professor were damaged

Ironically, professors ‘use of AI is increasing, and students’ use of AI is still limited. Fortune introduced examples of a university assistant and student. The assistant said, “As a full -time student and a worker, I was burdened to read and evaluate 70-90 tasks, so I entered the scoring standards and excellent cases in the chat GPT.”

The assistant reviewed and modified the results, but he said, “AI scoring was more efficient than reading 90 in a sleepy state.” “I felt sorry for the fact that AI was judging the credits,” he said.

The bigger problem is that there is a high score when the AI ​​scores the papers written by AI. The assistant said, “I put the article written by AI again in the chat GPT and gave me a high score.”

◇ “If you use AI, you restore trust”… The key to transparency

Some argue that even if AI is used, it is important to clearly inform the student the purpose and method of use. “I use AI to create a slide image in advance,” said Ron Martinez UFPR, who taught at the California State University Berkeley Campus (UC Berkeley).

He recently used AI as a ‘double scorer’ to cross the scoring results. Professor Martinez said, “I compared the results by entering the scoring standards into AI, and there were students who underestimated.” Thanks to AI feedback, I recognized my unconscious bias and adjusted the score. “

Students also relied on AI in the early stages, but now they use AI as a tool and are increasingly expanding their ideas. Professor Anthony said, “At first, education seemed to collapse because of AI.”

“AI is saving time and helping to improve expressiveness,” he said. “There is still a temptation of cheating, but students seem to realize that the skills we teach are needed in real life.”
