We’ve reposted your piece! It was a genuinely interesting read, and gives us plenty to think about. It seems like a difficult task to resist such a vast change, especially with how quickly education systems are trying to adopt and embrace AI into teaching, but we’re optimistic.

Burn it down: a license for AI resistance (opinion) Resistance is not futile, Melanie Dusseau writes.

Should we embrace AI being implemented into education?

A thought-provoking opinion piece by Melanie Dusseau discusses this and says it’s OK to resist that change:

“Not only are we allowed to say no, we ought to think deeply about the why of that no.”

Even voice actors jobs are at risk due to AI.

Tajja Isen highlights how the cost-cutting and ease of access to generated voices may be sacrificing more than just the human element. By plugging voice recordings into AI, you can make quite convincing copies.

When utilising any AI models, be sure not to input any sensitive information. These systems do not necessarily store the information safely, and they may be susceptible to data breaches - be smart about how you use them!

An entire course on deepfakes that's made by AI - @leonfurze.bsky.social gives us some fascinating insights into what AI might be used for in education and teaching.

Highly recommend checking it out if you can spare a few minutes! 🤖

This is a very interesting look into what AI deepfakes might be used for in future - the virtual Leon you used was pretty convincing, I can't say for sure if I'd have realised it was fake without prior knowledge first.

The European Commission has released the "first draft of the General-Purpose [AI] Code of Practice", an interesting insight into how other lawmakers might regulate AI in future - recommend having a read!

AI may affect even industries you wouldn't expect.

We’ve seen some essay questions and assessments with more open-ended questions, or they’ll be specifically about the wider course content which they suggest makes it more difficult to get a clear answer from the AI.

Do you think this approach could be be effective against AI generated work?

Heard from various lecturers how exhausting it is having to deal with AI in academic work and marking.

Your article raises some interesting points, especially on the constant uphill battle for AI detection - some go as far to conduct spoken exams in cases of suspected AI use.

Possible solution?

Nearly 50 news websites are ‘AI-generated’, a study says. Would I be able to tell? A tour of the sites, featuring fake facts and odd wording, left me wondering what was real

Why has generative AI created so much controversy in the News Industry?

One study on fake news found that over 49 News Sites were written partly or entirety by AI - entire news organisations generated by AI seem to already exist.
