Teachers have begun to punish students and whole classes for using generative AI because it came up in their detection software, even sometimes when it was not actually used.<\/p>\n<p>8 in 10 teachers says their school has a policy for the usage of generative AI in the classroom, and 73% of teachers say that their school is doing a good job with the monitoring of AI. This is a positive sign, and can be built on in the future. However, to quote from the article,<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Twenty-eight percent of teachers said they have received guidance on how to respond if they think a student is using ChatGPT;<\/li>\n<li>Thirty-seven percent said they have received guidance on what responsible student use of generative AI technologies looks like;<\/li>\n<li>Thirty-seven percent also say they have not received guidance on how to detect whether students are using generative AI in their school assignments;<\/li>\n<li>And 78 percent said their school sanctions the use of AI detection tools.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This can lead to a lack of trust in their students&#8217; work, and lead to harsher grading, and even false positives on AI detection tests that could frighten students, or give them punishment for actions they did not do.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thought about AI usage in the classroom? Should it be completely banned, or should it be allowed for specific usages? Is there anything you would suggest for teachers detecting and grading with the new issue of AI generated work?
