"Arizona State University rolled out a platform called Atomic that creates
AI-generated modules based on lectures taken from ASU faculty by cutting long
videos down to very short clips then generating text and sections based on
those clips.
Faculty and scholars I spoke to whose lectures are included in Atomic are
disturbed by their lectures being used in this way—as out-of-context, extremely
short clips some cases—and several said they felt blindsided or angered by the
launch. Most say they weren’t notified by the school and found out through word
of mouth. And the testing I and others did on Atomic showed academically weak
and even inaccurate content. Not only did ASU allegedly not communicate to its
academic community that their lectures would be spliced up and cannibalized by
an AI platform, but the resulting modules are just bad."
