By Med Kharbach, PhD | Last Update: May 26, 2023


AI generated content is now everywhere online. The infamous ChatGPT is but the tip of the iceberg. In fact, AI content generation tools have been around for several months before the introduction of ChatGPT.

If you are an educator or a teacher, you probably are already dealing with the repercussions of these AI tools in your daily work. More and more students are using AI (especially AI writing tools) to help them with their learning and we can not stop them from doing that. But we can not accept that they turn in AI-generated essays and assignments.

As much as they help in optimizing and creating transformative learning experiences, AI tools also create challenging problems for us in education, most of which are related to plagiarism and originality.
