Description
I chose to do my facilitation about the use of generative AI in classrooms. Generative AI is a widely used tool and very accessible to students. It is very easy to just copy and paste questions and answers into systems like ChatGPT, yet information about the impacts of generative AI is not as widely known. A study done in 2025 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology showed that the processing facilities the house these AI systems take enormous amounts of energy and water, as well as significantly contribute the CO2 emissions (Zewe, 2025). Additionally, the Harvard Business Review pointed to the dangers of an AI driven job market, replacing jobs and increasing the competition between technology and people (Demicri, Hannane, and Zhu, 2024). That said, learning how to use tools like generative AI could help us to embrace technological advancements (Nensa, 2025) and streamline learning management systems in higher education (Aaron, 2024). Overall, it is important for us as educators to inform students on how best to navigate new technologies in ways that preserve their academic integrity, as well as understanding the implications of the uses and abuses of technologies like generative AI.
