Abstract

This abstract focusses on ethical concerns for students’ usage of algorithms AI and Chat CPT in different nations, laws and decision making. Depending on care takers, universities and teachers’, the usage of those novel tools is quite different. For example, students might (a) be able or not able to (mis)use the tools, (b) find or lack access to true or false information, (c) loss of intellectual property rights, whether they and their parents or teachers are aware or not aware.
This causes a discussion on ethical issues along the previously mentioned stakeholders and their complex societal or economic backgrounds. Using cases from Generative AI which describes algorithms such as Chat GPT, we will see what ethical issues mean for the students and their care takers and other stakeholders: Students who have access, usually like Chat CPT (Version 3, they cannot afford level 4) and they use it and their results sound good, but also lowers their own creativity as well as their analytical and critical thinking. This sample shows ethical concerns across biases, cultural/individual identities, autonomy, social justice, safety and accountability.
In a nutshell: The existence of novel tools allows well-to- do users or universities to access new content and achieve support for various purposes like writing, speaking, marketing, etc., while issues like inclusion/social cohesion might be left, while commercial tool providers benefit from new customers and revenue.
