A decalogue of recommendations on the use of AI in the classroom.

·3 mins
Based on the courses I have designed and taught to over 300 university professors titled ‘ChatGPT, opportunity and challenge for teaching’, and at the request of the UPC Vice-Rectorate for University Policy, I have written this draft decalogue of recommendations. With additional contributions, this document has been presented to the community of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. This is my version with some additional revisions.

And AI Came to the Classroom

Legend has it that the wise Anand (a name suggested by ChatGPT, whom I call Skippy ^2) helped King Devendra (a name also proposed by Skippy) solve a difficult problem. In gratitude Devendra offered Anand the payment he desired. Anand asked that the king give him a grain of rice for the first square of a chessboard and that he double the amount in each successive square. The king accepted, but after a good while the king’s mathematicians informed him that there was not enough wheat in the entire kingdom to pay what Anand asked for.
