It was refreshing to hear the head of Google’s parent company, Alphabet, last week warn that us mortals ought not to “blindly” trust everything artificial intelligence tools throw at us, as they are prone to errors. But the real problem is how much anyone in our tech giant and AI-dominated world — which has little in the way of regulation — can question the tools that are multiplying every day. Do any of us have the time to think critically in ways that oppose the machine?
Society has been moving at breakneck speed toward dependence on tech tools — whether we like it or not and whether or not this damages the cornerstones of knowledge and education.
People young and old are being left increasingly at the mercy of the machine: in the workplace, at home and at school. They are even seeking ChatGPT’s advice on critical questions concerning school lessons and exams or how to manage their lives. Hence, we should beware how far the line between AI-generated “knowledge” and genuine human knowledge has become blurred. Especially when you hear that not only are students using AI to cheat, but also that educators are increasingly relying on such tools to create coursework and exam material.
