Since the pandemic, digital education has grown exponentially, and AI-based platforms have become a staple in academia. But does AI improve our knowledge and add to the learning process, or is it simply making it easier to copy and paste?<\/span><\/p><h2>AI as a Tool for Expanding Understanding<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some cases, AI serves as a tool to expand understanding. Nirupama N, currently pursuing her master\u2019s in business psychology in Australia, frequently turns to ChatGPT. \u201cThat\u2019s usually the first place I go to. I use it to generate more ideas,\u201d she says. She believes AI helps her think outside the box by introducing perspectives she might not have considered otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42f4319 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"42f4319\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"615\" src=\"https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image1.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-218\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image1.png 950w, https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image1-300x194.png 300w, https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image1-768x497.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67f0276 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67f0276\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, Khushi, an MSc Psychology student in Bangalore, finds ChatGPT useful for research. \u201cIt helps me understand concepts better and gives me insights that I can read up on further,\u201d she explains. However, she admits to using it as a shortcut for assignments she finds uninteresting.

Universities are allowed to use AI for translating texts and study materials into Indian languages while emphasizing the importance of human insight and academic integrity. However, ensuring that AI remains a supplement rather than a replacement for genuine learning remains a challenge.<\/span><\/p><h2>Professors\u2019 Perspectives on AI in Education<\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professors have mixed views on AI\u2019s role in education. Roshan Machayya, an Assistant Professor at a private university in Bangalore, acknowledges AI\u2019s potential but remains cautious about over-reliance. \u201cI\u2019m not inherently against AI, but it\u2019s just a tool. Like any other tool, it\u2019s useless if your communication skills are poor or your foundations are weak,\u201d he states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To moderate AI use, he relies on traditional pen-and-paper assignments, even though it increases the workload for evaluators. His university employs Turnitin to detect AI-generated plagiarism, but he admits the system isn\u2019t foolproof. \u201cIf a student is suspected of AI plagiarism, they must appear for an oral viva,\u201d he adds. Additionally, Roshan also recognizes AI\u2019s growing importance in the job market. \u201cDenying students access to AI entirely prevents them from developing necessary skills. I\u2019ve proposed allowing up to 20% AI use to help them strike a balance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d2dac85 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d2dac85\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"734\" src=\"https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image2-1024x734.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-219\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image2-1024x734.png 1024w, https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image2-300x215.png 300w, https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image2-768x551.png 768w, https:\/\/dsuonline.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/image2.png 1060w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-303857b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"303857b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chinnappa B.G., Assistant Professor of English at a private university in Bangalore, shares a similar perspective. While he does not encourage students relying on ChatGPT, he himself finds it useful as a quick reference tool. \u201cI often use ChatGPT as a substitute for search engines. The brief information it provides is helpful for tasks like responding to emails and drafting formal communication,\u201d he says.

Yes, AI does add to the quality of learning and research, but it\u2019s fair to say that over reliance compromises academic integrity and critical thinking. The key question, though, remains: Should universities adopt AI as a skill development tool or strictly regulate its use to maintain academic rigour?
