Detecting AI, Detecting Bias
According to a report by Common Sense Media, the percent of students who use generative AI programs to write their assignments is nearly equal amongst White, Latino, and Black students. However, when plagiarism detectors incorrectly label a student’s work as AI-generated, there is a disparity amongst races.
Teens whose teacher(s) flagged their schoolwork as being created by generative AI when it was not, by race/ethnicity:
White Students
Latino Students
Black Students
7 %
10 % 20 %
Is Everyone Cheating These Days?
The fear of a massive cheating wave might have been blown out of proportion. Recent studies and surveys show that students generally see generative AI tools as helpful sidekicks for things like research and editing. But when it comes to cranking out full essays, most students think that is crossing the line. So, while AI is definitely a player in education now, it seems like most are using it responsibly — at least for now.
