Students are increasingly using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in their learning. But what are the implications of this? In this episode, we are joined by Irene Ho, PhD student at UC San Diego in the Design lab, to talk about her recent research, which draws on interviews with students across multiple universities. We discuss GenAI's impact on how students seek help and how it affects students’ social ties, sense of belonging, and views of peers. We also cover practical strategies instructors can try and things to rethink now that we can't put GenAI back in the box.
