Book review: Talking about Generative AI: A guide for educators

Abstract

This book review examines Dobrin’s Talking about Generative AI: A Guide for Educators. Dobrin stresses its appeal to change the conversation about AI in education from one of control to one of ethical use and discussion. In addition to stressing shared responsibility between students, teachers and developers, the book reframes authorship and plagiarism in AI-mediated writing and provides useful tips for real-world assignments and human-machine cooperation. It acts as a succinct forward-thinking manual for teachers utilizing generative AI in a variety of classroom settings such as ESL and EFL classes.
