Artificial Intelligence Debate of the Ingenuity Labs Robotics and AI Symposium (RAIS2024) from August 7, 2024.

RAIS2024 was held in conjuction with the IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE 2024).

Generative AI has exploded onto university campuses around the world. Many universities are overwhelmed with student use of AI in courses and are working hard on putting together clear guidelines and policies. The World Economic Forum has recently published articles about the promise of AI in revolutionizing education and addressing global equity in education. On the other hand, Psychology Today and other groups have published articles about how AI is harming our ability to think critically. In a hosted talk here at Ingenuity Labs, author Ted Chiang explained that we ask students to write essays not because the world needs more student essays, but because writing teaches them to analyze different points of view and organize their thoughts in a way that makes it easier for others to understand. As it stands today, it is clear that generative AI is disrupting education and, given our role as AI practitioners and educators, we have to ask "AI in Education: Boosting Learning or Breeding Laziness?"
