Human, AI, and Academic Integrity: Translation, Access, and Error in Higher Education
Posted by anne.grey
Presenter: Rosemary DiSiervi, ASL Instructor at Portland Community College.
In this presentation, Rosemary DiSiervi explores the intersection of language access, human translation, and artificial intelligence in higher education. Drawing from her perspective as a Deaf educator, she examines how both human interpreters and AI tools handle language mediation, translation choices, and errors. The talk delves into the distinction between support that serves as equitable access versus support that crosses into academic dishonesty, encouraging faculty to rethink equity, voice, and assessment in an increasingly AI-driven environment.
