Risk of bias
Selection bias: The paper explicitly focuses on 'negative aspects' of AI in education, potentially leading to a non-balanced treatment of the topic; Confirmation bias: The stated focus on critical examination of negative consequences may limit discussion of countervailing evidence
Open questions raised
- The paper implicitly identifies the need for further research on balanced approaches to AI integration in education and on frameworks for maintaining human-centered pedagogy in the age of generative AI.
