Definition of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Pioneering computer scientist John McCarthy defined artificial intelligence as “the science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs. It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.”

Artificial Intelligence in Context

Overview

Generative Artificial Intelligence refers to a class of artificial intelligence models and algorithms that generate new content, such as images, text, music, videos, computer code, data, and 3D renderings, based on predictions drawn from vast amounts of training data. While traditional AI systems recognize patterns or make decisions based on existing information, generative AI is capable of creating original outputs. 

One of the fundamental techniques used in generative AI are generative pre-trained transformers (GPT), which is a type of large language model (LLM) that uses deep learning to generate natural language texts. GPTs are trained on large datasets to learn statistical patterns and features within that data. The model is then fine-tuned on specific language tasks and their corresponding nuances and requirements. New data points, resembling the original data, are generated from statistical predictions of the probability of a given sequence of words occurring in a sentence, similar to a supercharged auto-complete.

Generative AI tools can create a number of formats such as essays, poems, emails, social media, captions, and images. These applications are prevalent throughout various industries, including auto-correct, digital movie recommendations, writing generators, grammar checkers, proofreaders, and tone checkers.

However, users should realize the power to generate realistic content also carries the potential for misuse, such as copyright infringements, deep fake generation, and the spread of false information. In the face of these technological advances, ethical considerations and responsible use have become central issues.

Understanding AI: Generative AI

Generative AIs operate via certain core concepts:

  • Language models are statistical predictors of word sequences; there is no understanding or intent behind outputs.
  • Most need to learn by examining past data or by trial and error experimentation and adaption.
  • There is no relationship between a chatbot and the truth, merely statistical predictions.
  • There is no content expert involved.
  • The output is simple pattern matching that simulates thinking but is not an actual product of thought.
  • The output depends on the data imputed.
  • Understanding a generative AI’s need to learn will give insight into the technology’s capabilities and limitations.

Understanding AI: Instructional AI

Instructional AIs operate via certain core concepts:

  • They are tools that teach or reinforce the concepts of writing and offer feedback on grammar and mechanics (e.g., flow, word count, voice, and tone).
  • Revisions must be manually chosen.
  • They focus more on the process of research and writing than on the product of the assignment.
  • Most feature originality reports, including AI-generated content detectors.

Capabilities of Generative AI

Some of the capabilities of generative AI include:

  • Helping to overcome writer’s block
  • Providing a starting point for student coursework, although caution should be exercised.
  • Tutoring students by defining terms and explaining difficult concepts
  • Debugging programs step by step
  • Providing first drafts of course syllabi
  • Simple text editing
  • Identifying scholarly debates on a particular topic and exploring subjects through differing theoretical lenses
  • Modeling clearly organized descriptive and argumentative writing on particular topics
  • Generating lists of bibliographical references, although the user should determine whether sources are factual or AI-generated hallucinations

Text generators can help students learn about different writing genres and forms.

  • They can also require serious writers to become stylists.
  • AI text generators may establish a new baseline for student essays.

Strengths of Generative AI

Some of the strengths of generative AI include:

  • A large knowledge base derived from massive amounts of training data
  • A capability for generating coherent, human-like responses on a wide variety of topics. The models can engage in conversations and provide relevant information
  • A capacity for automating repetitive tasks to improve workflows and communication
  • A wide range of applications, including answering questions, offering suggestions, improving assignments and assessments, and generating content

Limitations of Generative AI

Some of the limitations of generative AI include:

  • A lack of wisdom, practical knowledge, factuality, and critical thinking
  • An inability to extrapolate data and make reliable predictions when there is a lack of data to inform patterns, structure, or mathematical equations
  • An incapacity to form a viewpoint or a specific argument
  • Difficulties with understanding context and nuance
  • A propensity for generating and defending inaccurate or false information (“hallucinations”), including completely fabricated citations
  • Submissions for writing assistance becoming part of the large language model’s (LLM) learning corpus

Students are learning to understand the world around them and to express themselves with clarity and purpose; this is something a language model cannot achieve.

Recommendations

  • Become educated in how generative AI and LLMs operate.
  • Engage in informed conversation with peers, colleagues, instructors, supervisors, and team members concerning generative AI and its implications for teaching, learning, and academic support.
  • Consider the benefits and detriments of AI tools including the potential risks for privacy and digital security violations.

Principles Needed for an AI Framework

Responsible AI Principles (Instructure)

 

Prompt Creation

Prompt creation is an essential notion in the AI field, particularly in natural language processing. Optimizing the use of generative AI means carefully designing and forming the right questions, instructions, or prompts. The goal is to effectively communicate with AI systems to obtain desired outputs. Chamorro-Premuzic (2023) observed the skills most in demand:

Asking Thoughtful Questions

  • The quality of value of AI-power tools’ responses hinge on the prompts.
  • Better prompts elicit richer and more robust responses.

Going Beyond Crowdsourced Knowledge

  • Advanced and specialized domain and subject matter expertise will become more valuable, since AI-produced responses will inevitably contain error or oversimplifications.
  • The capacity to spot inaccuracies, miscalculations, and mistakes in coding and other areas, and to correct errors or simplify understanding will be highly valued.

Leveraging AI-generated Insights into Decisions and Actions

  • Information becomes most valuable when it is actually applied in real-world contexts in which users solve problems or translate ideas into tangible products and services.
  • The ability to implement solutions is well beyond AI’s current capabilities.

Crafting Prompts

The Library has provided several best practices for creating prompts that are encapsulated in the COUGAR Framework.

Categories of AI Prompts

The Library offers a template for various prompts with relevant examples.

 

Resources for Students

This section is designed to be a comprehensive resource hub that equips students to use AI responsibly and ethically.

Following your instructor’s current guidance on the use of AI is essential. The use of any AI tool for completion of coursework must be approved by your instructor. If you choose to use ChatGPT, Bard, or other generative AI, you should be transparent and cite the technology as a source.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined by the American Association of University Professors (1989) as “taking over the ideas, methods, or written words of another, without acknowledgment and with the intention that they be taken as the work of the deceiver.” Plagiarism is a violation of the College’s Academic Integrity Policy.

The emergence of generative AI likewise brings forth an increased potential for plagiarism. Those contemplating the use of generative AI for unethical purposes, whether singly or in conjunction with text-spinners, need to ask themselves whether taking a shortcut is worth the risk of an academic integrity violation charge and the associated penalties.

Properly citing the sources from which you have drawn information, including generative AI, will assist you in avoiding any chance for plagiarism.
