Shaping Integrity: Why Generative Artificial Intelligence Does Not Have to Undermine Education

Computers and Society 2024-10-14 v2

Abstract

This paper examines the role of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) in promoting academic integrity within educational settings. It explores how AI can be ethically integrated into classrooms to enhance learning experiences, foster intrinsic motivation, and support voluntary behavior change among students. By analyzing established ethical frameworks and educational theories such as deontological ethics, consequentialism, constructivist learning, and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the paper argues that GAI, when used responsibly, can enhance digital literacy, encourage genuine knowledge construction, and uphold ethical standards in education. This research highlights the potential of GAI to create enriching, personalized learning environments that prepare students to navigate the complexities of the modern world ethically and effectively.
