And it’s not because of potentially violent students, a dangerous commute, any cyber issues with the teaching/learning environment, the challenge of using the coffee machine properly or the risk of becoming addicted to the smell of whiteboard markers (although the latter should not be underestimated)…

We have all experienced that AI systems sometimes spit out some pretty nonsense. If, for example, chat GPT were to be used to create uncontrolled teaching material, exams and slides, then such hallucinations could become learned knowledge and mislead a large number of learners – this must not happen, of course.

This is why we at educational institutions have to consider the use of AI separately and are subject to (much) higher documentation and transparency obligations than most other companies. We need to demand much more sensitivity from our professors when dealing with AI systems. This also applies to our colleagues in administration.

P.S.: By the way, this applies to education of any kind – publishers, schools, even kindergartens, but also some bloggers or TV programs can be classified in this category…
