Abstract
This study examines the integration of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) feedback coach in a peer feedback activity. Participants provided peers with feedback on their assignments. While providing feedback, they either received real-time adaptive AI coaching (intervention group) or not (control group). Feedback comments from participants were analyzed concerning content, text complexity, and sentiment. Survey responses were coded for sentiment and themes. Results show adverse effects of the AI feedback coach. Intervention group participants’ feedback included fewer reflective questions and adhered less to criteria. They provided shorter, more complex feedback. Students indicated mixed views on the AI feedback coach, with some finding it helpful and others distracting. A notable subset of students stated overreliance on the AI coach, prioritizing its validation over their own judgment. Results suggest that AI tools need thoughtful integration, possibly with additional scaffolding to counteract overreliance and avoid negative impact on peer feedback quality and feedback experience.
