Parents and educators are afraid that students will increasingly misrepresent the work of AI as their own. While the fear is understandable, because AI is here to stay, perhaps we should structure students' assignments in a way that allows them to use AI as much as they like, and in no way be actually cheating.
Here's how it would work. A student is given the assignment to write an essay on, for example, the implications of fusion energy on our future. Each student is given full and unfettered access to AI in both researching the problem and writing the final draft. In fact the final draft may be 100% written by the AI, and that would not be considered cheating.
So, now rather than teachers evaluating the students work on how well they composed an answer to the problem, they will be judged on how well they prompted AI to compose the answer. It's as if all students are promoted from the laborious and mundane task of copywriter to the more creative and intellectually demanding task of editor-in-chief.
There's one other component to this major shift in student education that needs to be addressed. Once the students have handed in their work and it been graded in terms of how well they used AI, there is one more step before the assignment is complete. This second part would require every student to stand up in front of the class and explain, in their own words, the written work that they had submitted.
In this way teachers are assured that students are using AI in the best way possible and that each student understands what the assignment has intended to teach.
Under this paradigm shift in education, there is no longer any such thing as cheating on an assignment by using AI. It would in fact be impossible for any student to use AI for the purpose of cheating. Teachers would be happy. Educators would be happy. Students would be happy. Sounds like a win-win-win. What do you think?
