Fear of the unknown: AI anxiety in academia
Mickey Mann January 7, 2025
While experts recognize the possible misuses of AI in
classrooms — including plagiarism — they agree that educating
teachers and students on what the black box of AI is will be
essential to its potential use for good.
When cavemen first saw the spark of a flame, they likely felt a
mixture of awe, wonder and fear at the powerful new tool. When the printing press was invented it promised widespread
access to writing, but it also threatened the jobs of scribes.
Writing itself was once feared as a disruptive technology. The
philosopher Socrates famously opposed the written word,
concerned it would replace meaningful conversation and
intellectual engagement.
Today, artificial intelligence once again stirs fear of the
unknown, particularly in the case of education. Skeptical
universities across the country have banned AI software and
Large Language Models (LLMs) like Chat GPT from their
classrooms.
However, some educators in Bellingham are cautiously
optimistic about AI’s potential to benefit students, especially
English language learners (ESLs) and students with disabilities,
by providing much-needed support. But is fear of the unknown
holding back this technology from reaching its full potential?
