Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it
Experts anticipate that using artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools such as ChatGPT will become a new standard in our professional lives, but what are the implications of this disruptive technology for teaching and learning in higher education, especially in STEM subjects? We argue that rather than banning AI writing tools, both students and educators need to develop understanding of the possibilities and limitations associated with this technology. Further, AI usage needs to be addressed by university plagiarism and academic integrity guidelines.
