AI vs. Students: Who’s Doing More Work?

Adjunct Associate Professor of Humanities Lynn Rogoff, M.F.A., was quoted in a Financial Times article about the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom. While AI chatbots can serve as a helpful research tool, some students have come to rely on the technology too heavily, raising concerns about plagiarism and a decline in critical thinking skills. Rogoff detailed the final assessment given in her business communications class: students must develop their entrepreneurial pitches and defend them in a live, on-camera session with their professors and peers—a test of whether they have learned the information themselves or relied on AI to do the work.

“I discovered that the more novel and unique the proposition is, the harder it is for [them] to use AI,” she says.
