Although artificial intelligence brings an element of uncertainty to classrooms, some university educators are challenging their peers to “live in that gray area” and bring their students along under the guiding lights of transparency, autonomy and open conversations. “Transparency is the solution,” said Shelley Rodrigo, an associate professor at University of Arizona. “Talk with the students. Instead of just mandating yes or no, ask them why they think it should be allowed.” Rodrigo was one of five higher education professionals who spoke Friday during a virtual panel discussion, “In the Weeds: An Educators' Roundtable on AI," sponsored by ed-tech company PowerNotes.
