Is It Just a Technical Issue?

Abstract

Generative AI has become so important that educators cannot ignore it. However, while educators focus on the benefits and harms of generative artificial intelligence in terms of education, they ignore the character traits of the student. Therefore, they get stuck with the decision-cost analysis results they put forward to exclude or use for education; this means missing out on a vital benefit of generative AI: empowering teachers. This chapter suggests, therefore, that to properly understand the benefits and harms of generative AI in terms of education, it is necessary to focus on the character traits of students, and it has empowered teachers on character education. While doing this, benefits from the vice and virtue epistemology, eventually decides that education needs something that not only gives technical prompt engineering education but also virtuous prompts that elicit cultivation of intellectual virtues.
