Generative AI in Teaching

Artificial intelligence has been in our everyday lives for some time. Think of Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri voice assistants. They can be helpful to perform tasks.

Generative artificial intelligence has been researched for decades, but has not been widely implemented or discussed outside research circles. You may have experienced generative AI though predictive text (Smart Compose) in Gmail.

Syllabus and Assignment Icons

The UIS Syllabus and Assignment Icons, adapted from the Oregon State project, represent some approaches to generative AI use for course policies and assignments. Syllabus statements are also a great way to frame the conversation about generative AI with your students. As instructors, it is important to provide guidance on acceptable generative AI usage from the start of a course. Instructors are encourages to modify and adapt the descriptions to fit courses and assignments.

AI Tools

Popular GenAI Tools

  • ChatGPT - launched in November 2022 by OpenAI, and has been credited with catalyzing widespread interest in generative AI.
  • ChatPDF - One specific use case that might be very relevant for most users is to be able to ‘chat’ with a PDF document. This might be a research article, a printout of a web page (saved as .pdf), or a PDF of a book. It is a very simple and elegant solution. There are limitations on how much you can use it for free.

Bias in GenAI

When using different GenAI models, you may encounter biases stemming from unequal representation in the training data. This can manifest as gender biases and a lack of diversity in the subjects depicted in the generated images.

Some examples of bias found when using GenAI image models:

Prompt: engineer

All the images generated show white, male subjects.
