Opting Out Of Ai Learning

should people be allowed to opt out of using generative-AI in learning

in theory yes, but what would that mean?
what would be the motivations for someone wanting to opt out

in the podcast ibm-2024-AI-in-education a few reasons were mention that might encourage someone to optout

  • people just generally scared of the technology
  • privacy risks
  • risk of echo chamber and bias that an AI model might subject someone to

all these reasons boil down to a lack of trust - which is a sociotechnical problem not a tech problem. Fundamentally there needs to be accountability to meet with this trust issue that is iincredibly important.
