The use of artificial intelligence in education and security measures
Security experts emphasize that students should be cautious about the risk of hallucinations when using artificial intelligence tools, protect their personal data, and view the technology as a learning assistant.
As the new academic year approaches, critical warnings have come from experts regarding the conscious use of artificial intelligence tools that are being integrated into students' study processes. In addition to the opportunities offered by technology, it is important for parents to provide guidance against the risks of misinformation and data security.
The importance of digital literacy
The ability of artificial intelligence models to present information that is close to reality but incorrect is redefining the concept of digital literacy. It has now become a fundamental skill for children to question the information they encounter and to recognize potential manipulations.
Artificial intelligence as a learning assistant
It is recommended that artificial intelligence be used as a learning assistant rather than for having homework done directly. Experts state that children submitting ready-made answers without understanding the content prevents the acquisition of targeted core skills.
It is advised that parents and children agree on a common principle regarding the use of artificial intelligence for supportive purposes, such as creating drafts, providing examples, or asking practice questions.
Hallucination risk and data security
The fact that large language models make probabilistic predictions based on the data they are trained on can sometimes lead them to cite non-existent sources or produce incorrect information. This situation shows that artificial intelligence responses must always be verified.
It is critically important for digital security that students do not share their personal information or private school-related data with artificial intelligence services.
