Balancing Safety and Innovation

TROY is working hard to ensure it's staying on top of the downsides to AI as well as embracing the positive. The biggest issue is safety, Price said. Systems have been put in place to ensure sensitive data is not compromised. In fact, AI offers ways to enhance security protocols.

Nokes said a key problem he has found with AI that can affect students is hallucination of the tools. 鈥淚f I were to ask Chat GPT to give me a list of publications I wrote, the titles are all real, the genre might be real, but none of them are written by me,鈥� he said. 鈥淭he facts look real, but they are kind of like you took a box of Legos and put them up randomly.鈥�

From another perspective, Price said the hype of AI has caused some confusion among faculty and staff. Because of AI's popularity, many software vendors are using the term as a marketing buzzword and advertising their AI offerings. In many cases, however, software programs have already been using AI as part of their products.

From Concerns to Classroom Tools: The Evolution of AI in Education

While it's unknown exactly how AI will evolve, one thing is for certain: it is here to stay. 鈥淚t's essential to approach these new tools with a balanced perspective. Similar to the early concerns about internet search engines, generative AI raises questions but also offers significant educational opportunities,鈥� Price said. 鈥淭hese tools have already begun to make an economic impact through smart devices and productivity apps, enhancing our daily lives and workflows. I vividly recall requests to block search engines because those tools were going to 鈥榢ill academia.'

鈥淥bviously, we did not block search engines. In fact, I imagine most that sought those blocks could not imagine working without the use of productivity tools, such as search engines, grammar, spell checkers and more.鈥�

There are many ideas for how AI can be a useful tool to TROY students' education, and it's impossible to predict them all with such an evolving tool. 鈥淚t remains to be seen. It's a bit of a frontier at this point,鈥� Dr. Palmer said.
