Deepening divides: How AI reinforces and creates inequities in learning

The sudden widespread availability of generative AI tools such as ChatGPT created significant opportunities and challenges for higher education. Much of the emphasis on generative AI in higher education to date has been on the risks to academic integrity. However, a more complex picture of the implications of generative AI for student learning is emerging. A new digital divide appears to be emerging. Some students are readily integrating generative AI into their learning practices while others are either not engaging or are struggling to take advantage of the power of these new technologies. AI threatens to exacerbate existing equity issues and leave disadvantaged students behind. In this session, we will explore what the emerging evidence suggests about the impact of AI on equity issues in higher education.
