When it comes to AI, one of the main concerns is how this could actually affect education. Like the computers in the 1980s introduced to schools, this is yet another evolutionary step into the education system for better or for worse. There are many benefits when it comes to AI guiding students to better their education, however there are disadvantages that can also guides students to the wrong path for misuse of AI. Starting with the benefits that can improve students’ education;

Many students all have an interesting way of learning and it can sometimes be not so easy for professors and teachers to create a special way of teaching just for each of them such as following instructions. AI has the capacity to simplify instructions for students and sometimes create a checklist for them so they can easily understand the objectives of their assignments.

Another good example for usage of AI in education is source searching. Like working on a school project, AI, such as NotebookLM, can assist finding the sources you need based on the topic you request.

While there are several advantages to using AI as a guiding tool, there are some that needs to be worked on or keep in mind:

While searching for certain topics like on, NotebookLM, to keep in mind is that AI will always be data-hungry. Sometimes, Ai can go off course from the request like, “I found some sources on dinosaurs along with dinosaurs dental hygiene.” Extra sources that sometimes doesn’t relate to what students need to know at the time can affect the students’ study on facts and fictions.

Another example, is the misuse of AI as a way to cheat on exams and homework assignments. While students can use AI as a way to study and help them on the line, some students would intentionally misuse AI by looking up all the right answers and save them time, if misguided for using AI.

We can make AI an acceptable tool to the education system, but like all cases, we must find all loose knots and make sure they are tighten. Meaning in this relation, we must find solutions to make AI acceptable and opening towards student without misguidance or misusage.
