“AI, like the Internet, social media, and search engines are all great inventions that benefit societies that can also cause great harm,” says Megan Lowe, library director at Northwestern State University. “If a student can’t analyze a text without a chatbot, what does that say about their education?” 

Student use of AI to help learn and do school work has outpaced faculty use.
