Education - Learning

In contrast to traditional machine learning, the impact of generative AI in the educational sector receives considerable attention in the academic literature. Next to issues stemming from difficulties to distinguish student-generated from AI-generated content, which eventuates in various opportunities to cheat in online or written exams, sources emphasize the potential benefits of generative AI in enhancing learning and teaching methods, particularly in relation to personalized learning approaches. However, some papers suggest that generative AI might lead to reduced effort or laziness among learners. Additionally, a significant focus in the literature is on the promotion of literacy and education about generative AI systems themselves, such as by teaching prompt engineering techniques.
