Project Topic $$ Evaluating the benefits, risks, and challenges of generative AI in higher education

The topic on which all the DIAL$5111$ projects focus this year is for you to critically evaluate the

following statement:

$$ The benefits of using generative AI in higher education learning materials and assessments

outweigh any ethical risks and challenges associated with it$,$ especially in South Africa.

You need to decide what position you will adopt on this topic $$ and on the provided statement

itself. Do you agree with the statement? Why? Do you disagree? Why? Do you agree and$/$or

disagree with certain parts of the statement? Which parts, and why?

Please note: There is no $$correct$$ position or $$right answer$$ to this $$ it is a complex topic with

many different sides. That is why we are asking you to apply your mind critically to your projects.

Do not just accept the statement as it is; ask questions, research, investigate, and make up your

own mind after having reviewed all the information you can find on the topic. You will not be

assessed on what position you adopt, but rather on how you present and support this position

across your$$three$$projects$.$
