RP Blog #1-Initial Proposal

The question I have geared towards is, “How does AI both encourage creativity and de-skill students, and how do we see this opposition playing out in our future academic careers?” We have been provided with many sources that give us context and background; I have used Megan Erickson’s “Rise of the AI Schoolteacher.” Her opening story is relatable, and I think that aids a lot in understanding her perspective. Before I read her piece, I was honestly leaning more towards the “creativity” argument, but afterwards, along with some context from other classes, I found more interest in the opposing point of view. This article also acted as my “Motive” source. I felt as though the information was easy to digest and presented me with a conversation to jump into. For “Exhibit” and “Argument,” I want to go through the article by Wong in my bibliography. Since my topic has jumped around a bit, I will have to find better sources to pick apart and analyze. This article features a table that I liked as I am a visual learner, which compares 15-year-olds’ occupational expectations and the level of exposure to AI in their Departments of Education, which I think could be useful and intriguing to include.
