AI Use & The Future

    AI is growing more and more prevalent as time moves on. My first experience with AI was in my sophomore year of high school as ChatGPT released to the public. Nowadays, I use AI in my personal life for creating generated images and audio clips for leisure projects. In school, I use sites like NotebookLM to give me inspiration for what my assignments could like. For example, it can help me with how to start a project or give me grammatical help for writing assignments. AI can very beneficial at times when an assignment seems confusing or lets you see it in a different way. 

    AI can help students learn more effectively in the class by giving feedback on the work they've created. It can also help teachers with their job like aiding them while creating the curriculum and creating questions students can answer. But, everything has their pros and cons. For AI, students may become too reliant on the tools and not learn to have creative freedom and do things by themselves. The more we use AI, the more it learns and becomes better at the task. There will always be worries of AI taking over, but overusing it will not help things get better. 

    In the next five years, AI will most definitely be a part of the classroom and a tool for education. My guess is softwares like Google Classroom and Blackboard will integrate AI onto their platforms like a chatbot where you could ask it anything academically. For educators, AI can be used as a tool to help grade assignments and projects. In the future, challenging can occur like not knowing what is AI or not. Students might not be able to think critically with what they are given. The importance of asking questions if things are real or not must also be taught during this stage of AI.

    In the future, I hope there will be a way where creative freedom and AI can work hand-in-hand in the classroom instead of taking over the human psyche. Responsible AI use in the future is a must for this tool to be ethically and morally right. This includes being transparent about AI usage and doing your own research. Overall, AI will keep growing as a helpful tool in education, but it is up to us to use it the right way so we don't become obsolete in the future.
