AI is rapidly changing how college students approach their education. Instead of solely using AI for cheating, students are finding innovative ways to leverage tools like ChatGPT for studying, organization, and collaboration. For instance, students are using AI to quiz themselves on lecture notes, summarize complex readings, and alphabetize citations. These tasks free up time and mental energy, allowing students to focus on deeper learning and understanding course material. This shift reflects a move toward optimizing their learning processes, rather than simply seeking shortcuts.
Students are also using AI tools like Grammarly to refine their communications with professors and internship coordinators. Tools like Notion AI are helping students organize their schedules and generate study plans that feel less overwhelming. Furthermore, a collaborative AI-sharing culture has emerged, with students splitting the cost of ChatGPT Plus and sharing accounts. This collaborative spirit extends to group chats where students exchange quiz questions generated by AI, fostering a supportive learning environment.
Handshake, the college career network, has launched a new platform, Handshake AI, to connect graduate students with leading AI research labs, creating new opportunities for monetization. This service allows PhD students to train and evaluate AI models, offering their academic expertise to improve large language models. Experts are needed in fields like mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, music, and education. Handshake AI provides AI labs with access to vetted individuals who can offer the human judgment needed for AI to evolve, while providing graduate students with valuable experience and income in the burgeoning AI space.
