Universities seek to restrict AI use by students

New requirements Many students and teachers mentioned that AI imposes new requirements on teaching, teachers and the students' ability of using such smart tools. Some teachers said they are increasing in-class, hands-on assignments while reducing after-class ones, especially those that involve writing, so that students are forced to better participate in the learning process. Sun Haiqin, who teaches conference interpreting at Shanghai International Studies University's Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation, said that as AI is capable of doing basic translations, the focus of learning for high-level interpreting talent shall shift to post-editing of drafts provided by AI. So in the age of AI, workload is reduced, but work becomes more demanding," said Sun, who encourages her students to make good use of AI in different phases of an interpreting job.
