GenAI limitations

Wrap up

In our journey, we focused on applying critical thinking skills to navigate the complexities of GenAI. By fostering an evaluative mindset, you are now better equipped to understand the nuances, challenges, and opportunities presented by GenAI tools.

We delved into the considerations for incorporating GenAI tools into your studies at Deakin, uncovering both the potential benefits and pitfalls associated with this advanced technology.

As you embark on your academic journey at Deakin, you are positioned to leverage GenAI's potential while adeptly navigating its ever-evolving limitations. This includes recognising and addressing constraints in GenAI outputs, as well as exploring strategies to minimise associated risks.
