Education in the Era of Generative AI

Abstract

Gen artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the higher education sector by employing deep learning models to generate information that closely mimics human content. However, its introduction into educational settings raises questions about factors like academic integrity, moral ethics and potential impacts on critical thinking skills. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) may seem to be a reason for concern which has led to swift prohibitions by organizations and educational agencies. The chapter proposes to put in detail the benefits of using Generative AI by the stakeholders of the education sector, along with the ethics and values to be taken care of and thereby avoiding the reasons to negate the usage of the AI. This chapter will cover the use of Generative AI in different educational settings, the tools and methods employed, the efficiency of GAI in enhancing teaching and learning, the influence on student outcomes, and the possible drawbacks and moral dilemmas related to its application.
