AI supplements, complements, and enhances human intelligence

I have said elsewhere that AI is an ally, not an enemy, of human intelligence. For the most part, it supports and complements humans and is not used to replace human intelligence. As with all technological developments, even revolutionary ones (such as the internet or nuclear energy), humans are always in control. So don’t be afraid that AI will overwrite human intelligence. Control is always in the hands of the master. In short, humans will run AI, evaluate, evaluate, and measure AI’s analysis, predictions, predictions, predictions.

I’m very optimistic about AI, especially generative AI, for example ChatGPT. Because we have seen for decades how technology has helped learning and teaching in academia. US higher education students have been using AI-enhanced software tools for years. Research, problem solving, coding, and dissertation writing are the bread and butter of an undergraduate learning repertoire.

In academia, there are two kinds of writing. Students write semester reports, dissertations, and dissertations, while professors and researchers publish their research results in academic journals. Both undergraduate and graduate students are expected to demonstrate their creativity and submit original work. Authors must prove that their work has not been plagiarized from another source. A reasonable rule. If a student enrolls in a course and submits a poem copied from a fellow student, it is considered a violation of the honor or ethics code.

Plagiarism, sadly, is one of the biggest and most annoying problems colleges and university professors have to deal with. Since the dawn of the Internet and the availability of search engines, students (and many other students for that matter) have used (that is, copied) paragraphs and data from published material without proper attribution. rice field. A new class of tools and a plethora of tools now available can detect these deceptive practices much more quickly than before. In an earlier editorial in this newspaper, Boston University already relied on a faculty member to employ her AI detection tool, and in student-submitted papers and papers he asked how AI tools might be used. said to be evaluated.

I agree that the widespread adoption of ChatGPT-type software could have serious unintended negative consequences for learning in many academic disciplines, not just writing, but we all agree that the “honor system” Students, amateurs, and writers will benefit from adopting and practicing full disclosure.

As mentioned earlier, ChatGPT belongs to the genre of AI algorithms that generate or create output such as text, pictures, videos, code, data, 3D renderings from trained data. Other forms of AI are becoming available that can be used for other purposes, such as analyzing statistical data or controlling self-driving cars.

The availability of AI software such as ChatGPT has made it easier to flag plagiarized material. As a former university professor, I can anticipate the challenges my colleagues face today if students use her ChatGPT indiscriminately. Some of these issues were raised by his Professor Shamsuzzaman in an editorial on these pages earlier this month.

I agree that the widespread adoption of ChatGPT-type software could have serious unintended negative consequences for learning in many academic disciplines, not just writing, but we all agree that the “honor system” Students, amateurs, and writers will benefit from adopting and practicing full disclosure. Overcome writer’s block and improve your writing and analytical skills. And I can vouch for that based on my personal experience.

A few years ago I had the urge to write. The first thing I discovered when I started writing for publication was that our skill sets are genetically disadvantaged. However, I did not write much except for my doctoral dissertation. In Dhaka University, I was not good at writing. I could write good sentences on exams, write decent paragraphs for writing practice, but no more, and after her mother passed away, she turned to writing for two reasons. I have a strong desire. First, I wanted to write about my family and leave something behind for posterity. Secondly, growing up in Dhaka, I have some great memories to share. So, I started writing but faced some handicaps. I had to understand the literary style. Additionally, I needed an idea. It turns out how I struggled, I could use a tool like ChatGPT!

Let me explain this point. Even the best writers are always looking for different angles. For example, say you are writing a paper on the impact of robots on your production line. In that case, you might wonder whether to start with a history of robotics, a dramatic quote, or a vision for the future. So it’s good to have three different perspectives. We know that three different versions of her essay on “robots and factory automation” will be served if ChatGPT can be properly prompted.

Nobel Prize-winning American novelist William Faulkner said, “A writer has three sources of information: imagination, observation, and experience.” As we know a person is not born with all or any of these three. Having these (or not having them) didn’t help me much. I was stuck with my dissertation for years while doing my PhD. The internet and access to world literature in digital form on the web has been really helpful.

Finally, I conclude this note with another tangible benefit of AI in education. As a former teacher, it was difficult to keep track of the students in my class and their level of ability to absorb the material. Some students are good at following lectures, others like to go home and review my notes and other materials I have posted online. AI can now provide timely feedback on daily presentations. This helps me tailor my approach to ensure that all students have a good understanding of the topic and are able to apply these in real-life situations.
