"If you asked ChatGPT a question about some mainstream topics, the answer will be correct, but if you ask a question about lesser-known things..."
How to implement the use of artificial intelligence in teaching processes, whether at colleges or in schools? Should students unreservedly use the benefits of ChatGPT and thus produce their academic works?
These were just some of the questions discussed at the panel discussion "Generative artificial intelligence in schools and education: learning or copy-paste?" which was also attended by the head of VERN's undergraduate study Internet of Things (IOT), Assoc. Ph.D. Petar Kolar .
He discussed the topic with Josip Borić-Novosel , consultant and team leadership trainer, Dr. Jakob Patekar , vice dean for science and general education at RIT Croatia, and Marina Trošelj , executive director of STEMI, and the discussion was moderated by digital communications and branding consultant Tomislav Pancirov .
The panelists concluded that although artificial intelligence simplifies our operational tasks, we should not rely on it completely, but rather use it in education exactly as it was originally intended, as an aid – from an institutional perspective, but especially from a personal perspective. Otherwise, the individual is at a loss in the long run.
„Ako se koristi bez razmišljanja generativni AI sigurno negativno utječe na kritičko mišljenje, a baš nastavnici moraju poticati svoje učenike i studente da razvijaju kritičko mišljenje. Ako ChatGPT-ju postavite neko pitanje dobit ćete odgovor koji izgleda vrlo vjerodostojno. Ako ste postavili pitanje o nekim mainstream temama oko kojih postoji gomila objavljenog internetskog sadržaja, taj odgovor će biti točan, ali ako postavite pitanje o manje poznatim stvarima dobit ćete jednako uvjerljiv odgovor od sustava koji ne propituje samoga sebe. I tada studentima treba reći, dobili ste informaciju od umjetne inteligencije, ali prije nego je navedete u svojem radu provjerite je li točna“, poručio je VERN’ov profesor doc. dr. sc. Petar Kolar.
The discussion was held as part of the rich program of this year's Game Changer conference, and the main topics of the discussions and pitches in the five halls of Cinestar's Z Center in Zagreb could be summarized as: startup, artificial intelligence, coexistence of technology and people.
