Ethical Implications, Online Discussions, Artificially Intelligent, Organizational DeploymentAbstract
The growing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the classroom has ramifications for how the teacher and student perceive the experience of meaningful student labor. Despite the development and organizational deployment of AI, the promotion or limitation for online debates, as well as the ethical implications of these changes, are deficient. This research is situated at the intersection of the literatures on ethical AI and online conversations, and it provides a comprehensive analysis of the implementation of AI to either improve or degrade the management of online discussions. Firstly, to determine the ethical significance of online talks is an overview of the nature of these conversations and to draw on philosophical and educational ethics explanations. Following this, the researcher investigates the effects of three different ways of deploying artificial intelligence (replacing some duties, tending the machine, and enhancing student talents) across five aspects that constitute a holistic picture of online debates, and ultimately, the ethical implications of these three approaches are evaluated. This allows the contextualization of the online discussion literature for the era of AI, extension of this ethical literature into the education sector, and to the conclusion of a variety of practical consequences and future research possibilities.
