The Rise of Artificial Intelligence
As Halloween approaches, the discussion on campus has shifted to the eerie presence of artificial intelligence (AI). Students and professors are addressing the growing concern of AI's impact on academic integrity and human creativity.
Most professors have established strict guidelines on AI use in their syllabi, limiting it to sentence structure or grammar purposes. This rule aims to preserve human creativity in an era where computers are becoming increasingly skilled at imitation.
A Recent Example
A notable instance of AI's "spookiness" occurred when Martin Luther King Jr.'s estate intervened after AI-generated videos of King began circulating online. The videos were deemed disrespectful and distorted his legacy.
The family's condemnation led to OpenAI's new video model, Sora 2, blocking users from generating videos of King.
This incident highlights the need for responsible AI use and the importance of preserving human creativity and integrity.
