Wright State University faculty members discussed how artificial intelligence can be a valuable tool in education \u2014 while emphasizing that it cannot replace the human element \u2014 in a story produced by WDTN 2 News.<\/p>\n
Valerie Shallin, Ph.D., professor of psychology, highlighted the importance of teaching students how to use artificial intelligence effectively, ensuring it serves as an aid rather than a crutch.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have an essay assignment and don\u2019t even know where to start?\u201d Shallin said. \u201cYou can use AI to get started. Ask it for a prompt: \u2018Tell me what to write for my history class.\u2019 \u2018Well, here is a suggestion! How about this?\u2019\u201c<\/p>\n
Wright State is not only educating students on how to utilize AI but also preparing them for the challenges they may face when pursuing careers.<\/p>\n
Nichol Simmons, director of Wright State\u2019s Tom Hanks Center for Motion Pictures, said students are learning how advancements in AI could impact their futures as filmmakers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we are going to see the most people lose their jobs quite honestly in visual effects as the technology emerges,\u201d Simmons said.<\/p>\n
She said it is important that students master skills that AI cannot replicate.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe answer always has to come back to storytelling,\u201d said Simmons. \u201cAnd our human stories are what make people engaged in watching movies and TV shows, videos of any kind, even YouTube videos, where people invest is on that emotional level. AI cannot replicate the emotion of being human.\u201d<\/p>\n
