What happens to our ideas and our voice when we let AI help us write? Researcher Baraa Khuder has followed how students and researchers use generative AI – and observed that new insights only emerge when AI is combined with real colleagues. Those who skip human feedback in the process learn less, feel more dissatisfied, and generate fewer original ideas.
At the same time, Baraa Khuder argues that the technology can make academia more accessible for students and researchers who do not have English as their mother tongue.
In Verapodden she explains what happens to language in AI-generated texts, and how her perspective on knowledge and learning has been shaped by fleeing from a university in one of the world's most dangerous cities.
She also discusses how feedback can be crucial for researchers in exile – sometimes the difference between continuing and giving up.
