Enhancer or obstacle?: AI’s role at UCLA and in online learning after COVID-19 - Myra Hussain, Daily Bruin

Jess Gregg, the senior associate director for the UCLA Center for Education, Innovation and Learning in the Sciences, says "UCLA is very well positioned to be a leader in this space and also to prepare students to be future leaders when it comes to all of the issues and uses for artificial intelligence in our society,” Gregg said. Given a hybrid educational environment after COVID-19, students find themselves utilizing AI resources in various ways. While the harms brought by the unethical use of AI hinder academic honesty, the capacity of AI to promote learning still persists, Gregg said. “I really look at it through that lens of this (AI technology) is not going anywhere and we need to prepare our students and support them to be leaders in this space,” Gregg said. “I really see it as an opportunity.”
