Innovative Approaches to Learning with AI-Human Collaboration

by Manolo Remiddi

In colleges and universities, there has been a growing trend of students relying almost entirely on AI (ChatGPT) to write their essays. Regrettably, the dearth of human input in producing essays and other student work has diminished the value of these assignments. No longer do they showcase the skillset that students are expected to possess. We must re-evaluate how we foster the development of our student's abilities in novel ways. Given that AI will play a significant role, we must find something that cannot be accomplished by either humans or AI alone. This requires a novel kind of product that can only be realized through the fusion of human ingenuity and AI technology. A product that can scale in complexity to match the capabilities of advanced AI systems, while simultaneously cultivating a skillset essential to the new era of human-AI collaboration. It is essential to consider the possibility of students seeking to deceive the system by relying solely on AI to do the work. Therefore, it is vital that we design something where human judgment remains essential even in collaboration with advanced AI systems, ensuring that students are motivated to demonstrate the core skills and knowledge to complete their assessments and earn their credentials.
