Module 2 Summary

It is sensible to have concerns about Generative AI tools and their impact on education. In this module, we have summarised the principal challenges for educators. GenAI tools are unreliable for factual work, and are likely to remain so because of the way they work. They also bring with them concerns about exploitation, authorship and environmental impact. You certainly need to be aware of these tools and reflect on them in relation to your own discipline and approach to teaching. In module 3, we will consider how you can take good decisions about their use and how you might talk to students about them.
