   Dear Dafne Itzel Rojas González,

   Thank you for your presentation.
   The chatbot you introduced sounds very interesting and promising. Yet, I wonder what might be challenges for a chatbot to be succesfully implemented in the educational context? You mention aspects like accesibility and scaleability, but are there also other factors that should be taken into account? Such as, are students aware of, or should they be aware of, how the chatbot functions (it being a LLM, presenting answers to prompts based on the gathering of data). How can students learn to be critical towards the bot, not taking everything it presents as “true knowledge”, but as a possible answer to a question which also might be false?

   Thank you.

   Dear Dafne Itzel Rojas González, Josue Aaron Soriano Rivero and Jatziri Hernandez Hernandez,

   Thank you for your presentation. I am hopeful about the use of AI-tools in education. At the same time, I believe it will be radically transformative for how we learn and that we should be cautious when integrating AI in education. My question is therefore which risks your identified or foresee with the chatbot you created and more generally, which risks you believe are crucial when integrating more AI tools in education.

   Dear Anne Marte Gardenier,

   Thank you for your insightful questions. Here are the responses:

   1. What might be challenges for a chatbot to be successfully implemented in the educational context?

   Challenges include ensuring the accuracy and reliability of responses, protecting student data privacy, integrating with existing educational systems, and providing adequate support and training for educators.

   2. Are there also other factors that should be taken into account?

   Other factors include the importance of human oversight to verify information, the adaptability of the chatbot to different educational contexts, and the need for ongoing maintenance and updates.

   3. Should students be aware of how the chatbot functions (it being a LLM, presenting answers to prompts based on the gathering of data)?

   Yes, students should be informed that the chatbot is a language model that generates responses based on data and probabilities, and we can explain them that its answers might not always be accurate.

   4. How can students learn to be critical towards the bot, not taking everything it presents as “true knowledge”, but as a possible answer to a question which also might be false?

   Students can be taught critical thinking skills, encouraged to cross-check the chatbot’s responses with reliable sources, and guided to question and analyze the information provided by the chatbot.

   Respectfully,
   Dafne Rojas

   Dear Roxanne van der Puil,

   Thank you for your question. Here are the key risks we’ve identified with our chatbot and AI tools in education:

   1. Accuracy and Reliability: The chatbot may provide incorrect or misleading information, which sometimes can confuse students.

   2. Ethical and Privacy Issues: Ensuring ethical use and protecting student data privacy are crucial.

   3. Technical Limitations: AI tools can struggle with complex queries and need continuous improvement to minimize errors.

   4. Access and Equity: There is a risk of increasing the digital divide if all students do not have equal access to AI technology.

   With Gratitude,
   Dafne Rojas
