Can Colleges Balance ChatGPT’s Influence With Ethics Curriculum?
The rise of ChatGPT since it launched has forced higher education to address solutions and concerns over academic integrity and the use of AI in the classroom.
"I don’t know that most educators were really having conversations about this until ChatGPT was a reality, and by then, students were already using it. But the conversations around cheating with generative AI aren’t new, even if the technology is", according to Sarah Cabral, a senior scholar of business ethics at Santa Clara University’s Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
"This really highlights the need to have conversations with students about character. Like, who you are as a person and how do you feel about being someone who is dishonest? Because if you practice dishonesty enough, that’s who you become. "
"I want to know if that is enough of a disincentive, outside of any policy, for students to avoid using ChatGPT."
