Abstract or Keywords
Generative artificial intelligence services (such as ChatGPT, Claude.ai, and DeepSeek) are rapidly entering the classroom, offering both opportunities and challenges for students and educators. While AI can support personalized learning and efficiency, it also raises important questions about critical thinking and academic integrity in education. In this talk, I highlight some of the benefits and risks of AI as a teaching tool as well as a subject of study in the media and communication classroom.
