How are colleges handling students' use of artificial
intelligence?
By Kristina Rex
Updated on: November 29, 2023 / 6:14 AM EST / CBS Boston
BOSTON - There are a lot of myths, predictions, and half-truths about artificial intelligence: it's coming for
your job. It's too risky.
Generative AI, harnessed through programs like ChatGPT, is a popular technology that can be used to create
new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos.
In fact, AI can write entire academic essays, outlines, bibliographies – you name it.
"AI is a great tool to augment what you do but we have to have humans checking the work," said Patty Patria,
the Chief Information Officer at Babson College. "If we are not checking the work that AI is generating, then
we are not using it properly."
A recent survey by BestColleges revealed that 56% of college students admit completing assignments using AI
technology.
In fact, when WBZ-TV surveyed random students at Boston University and Northeastern, many said they, too,
use it for schoolwork.
"It's pretty convenient to give you a broad view," one Northeastern student said. "I've been using ChatGPT for
most of my assignments and it works really well," a BU student said.
"I sometimes use it as a background resource to get information on a subject and then I go from there,"
another added.
There are obvious concerns: plagiarism, inaccurate information, and students not learning how to write their
own papers or do their own work.
"We have seen that our library has received more requests for interlibrary loans, for books or journals that
don't even exist because somebody looks at a reference that was generated by a generative AI model that
has, you know, journals and books in there that don't exist," Tilman Wolf, the Senior Vice Provost of Academic
Affairs at UMass Amherst explained.
But the popularity of the technology makes it hard for local universities to ignore, and as a result, most are
currently in the process of developing AI policies or strategies for students and faculty.
"I think the best thing to do is to leave it up to the faculty members to decide what makes sense to them. The
really important thing is to articulate what these expectations are by the faculty members, so that the
students know what to do," Wolf explained.
"We're at the beginning but I think pretty ahead of other high learning institutions in terms of creating an AI
model," added Patty Patria of Babson. The college hopes to have a formal policy on the books by the end of
the academic year.
Some considerations and recommendations they offer professors:
1. Forbid the use of AI.
2. Discourage AI use – but require proper credit when AI is used.
3. Encourage – and even assign – AI augmented work.
4. Decide whether AI can be used on a case-by-case basis for assignments.
"Generative AI models are not going to go away," Tilman Wolf said. "And I think the important thing is that we
create awareness on our campus, what they can and cannot do, and that we think about how we can be
transparent about where we use them and where we don't use them, and that we train our students so that
they are prepared for the workforce where they can use these tools in an appropriate manner."
