In this reflection, I will focus on the speaker’s speech and an article I found. I think he pointed out some ideas that inspired me to think about academic surveillance in higher education. This is a significant issue since AI has made academic surveillance in higher education even more challenging.

Therefore, I would like to point out that his argument “AI proctoring functions like mandated spyware, collecting webcam, microphone, and browser data and flagging “abnormalities,” which can turn learning into a cat-and-mouse relationship.”

I think this will be an interesting topic to discuss, since OpenAI was created in 2015 and AI has improved significantly every year. I personally think AI can be a great tool, but it can also be harmful to learning. Rather than focusing on cat-and-mouse game, I would like to focus on the advantage and disadvantage using AI in education.

The advantages of using AI in learning:

As university students, we often face different concepts and questions that we are not sure about. AI can be a great tool to help us find answers more easily and understand questions faster. Therefore, it can make learning more cost-effective.

Moreover, I also think AI can raise academic standards and educational quality. AI can be a great teacher, and users can ask any questions they have. This can help students learn by using AI.

The disadvantages of using AI in learning:

However, some students use AI in the wrong way. They use AI to do their homework or write papers, which can cause issues such as academic dishonesty.

Moreover, it can raise further concerns about whether the education level is reliable, since students can use AI to complete their papers and homework. Therefore, companies might question whether people who graduated after 2021 actually have the ability that matches their education level, or whether they were just using AI. I think this is a huge issue we need to focus on.

Overall, I believe using AI in the right way can help you learn more effectively through self-learning.
