Episode 5: A Mixed Bag -- students share their perspectives on using AI

Episode 5 of TEACHful is a conversation with three representatives from the Algonquin College Students’ Association about their AI use, how they feel about it, and what their expectations are for future use. We really valued this interview – the students were very honest, but also very reflective. Rather than an open-arms embrace of AI, they noted their hesitations and concerns, including a fear of “losing yourself.” On the other hand, they recognized the productivity, the “use it like a friend” aspect, and the potentials for their industries.  Interested in some of the articles and resources we mention in the podcast?
