Synthetic media in education refers to the use of AI-generated content, including images, videos, audio, and text, to enhance the learning and teaching processes. This broad term encompasses various forms of AI-created content, such as synthetic voices for audiobooks and virtual characters designed for interactive lessons. Keeping this in mind, below are three associated risks.
1. Impersonation and Fake Media: Synthetic media can be used to create fake videos, images, or messages of students or teachers. This can lead to bullying or damage to their reputations, significantly impacting those affected.
2. Academic Dishonesty: Students might use synthetic media to generate content for assignments or exams. This could affect their results and make it difficult to identify original work.
3. False Accusations: Manipulated videos could falsely accuse teachers or students of inappropriate behavior, potentially resulting in unfair disciplinary actions and harming the reputations of individuals and the institution.
