AI in the classroom isn’t neutral. It changes how students think, trust, and connect.

If we want responsible AI in education, we have to study the harms with the same depth we study the hype.

What’s missing? The social side.

Equity, belonging, and collaboration barely show up in the data even though they’re what determine who feels welcome in CS and who walks away.

Only about 1 in 5 papers from 2024 even mention harms.
And most discuss hypothesized harms, not ones that were observed or measured.

It’s time for research that examines what’s really happening in classrooms, not just what we think might be.

Most papers focus on benefits such as faster feedback, better explanations, higher grades.

But the downsides are real too:
• Shallow learning
• Over-trust in wrong outputs
• Less collaboration
• Uneven access

Everyone talks about how generative AI helps students. Almost no one asks how it might hurt them. We reviewed 224 papers on GenAI in computing education to see what’s being ignored.

Here’s what we found at the @templehci.bsky.social👇

Our recent work shows how AI is undermining social interactions and eroding learning communities! 😬

1. Help exchanges are now largely mediated by AI
2. Help from AI is replacing support from friends

Students now feel isolated and receive less mentorship, reducing access to the hidden curriculum

I agree, if it was ok HBO it would be extremely popular. Its a shame apple tv hasnt done a great job marketing it

When I guest lectured in an undergrad Algorithms class I needed to explain why I was talking about ethics in such a theory-heavy class.

I explained the mysterious work in #Severance and asked, don't you think it matters what your algorithm's used for? You don't sort numbers for the heck of it.

It’s very disappointing to see major universities using AI art for promotional material when there are students who could create incredible work and deserve that recognition

Last night felt like a movie 🍿 We had our first lab meeting with some of the new students joining for Spring 2025.

What a feeling to see so many first-year undergraduate students so excited to start their research journeys.

No I edited it, but it definitely feels like something clippy would say😆

Day 2, I am slowly but surely finding my #ComputingEducation / #CSed community here on Bluesky 🦋

Who did I miss?

First post! 👋

I can't wait to find all my #HCI #ComputingEducation and #AssistiveTech friends and to make some new ones.

One for HCI

Hi! Could you add me please :)

Hi! Could you please add me to this if possible :)
