"Students are moving faster than the faculty meant to teach them. Most students use AI in practical ways, such as a '24/7 office hours' assistant, rather than for shortcuts."
"The most common thing is not addressing it. When AI does come up, it's often framed negatively, creating a dynamic where students rely on tools they feel they're not supposed to talk about."
"There's a sort of tendency in the academia space to wait and get things right. I think it's also causing us to miss the moment."
Parker Jones, a Cal Poly software engineering student, found that students are utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT for practical purposes, such as clarifying lectures and organizing assignments. This contrasts with the negative narrative often presented by universities regarding AI misuse. Many professors are hesitant to address AI's role in education, creating a disconnect where students rely on tools they feel they cannot discuss. Jones believes institutional inertia is the main issue, as professors wait for clearer guidelines before incorporating AI into their teaching.
