While AI has been around for a while, usually in the form of grading standardized tests and identifying plagiarism, the ultra-advanced technology has made its way to students for the first time ever, and it has the potential to transform education as we know it. We\u2019ll break down both the good and the bad to AI in school, so you\u2019re fully equipped to handle these situations as they arise.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Let\u2019s get the bad out of the way.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First, there are major concerns of plagiarism. Students have already been caught, or admitted to, submitting essays written by AI as their own work. As AI becomes more widely available, this issue is expected only to grow.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Second, AI often falls victim to human biases. AI only knows what is given to it by human activity, meaning the results it gives will be biased, and therefore, flawed. This has been a major problem in other industries, including criminal justice and healthcare.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Similarly, AI programs like ChatGPT are often outright wrong. They don\u2019t pull information from databases or studies, meaning the information it puts to paper has a high chance of being incorrect, hurting a student\u2019s chance at success.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Now, let\u2019s talk about the good.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It may not seem like there\u2019s much good to AI in schools, but that\u2019s not true. It\u2019s all about adapting to the (fast arriving) future. AI programs like ChatGPT can be used to help students think of ideas for assignments or give them points to expand upon. In fact, an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencenews.org\/article\/chatgpt-ai-artificial-intelligence-education-cheating-accuracy\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">English teacher in Pennsylvania<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> caught his students using AI for essays, and used it as a teaching moment instead of an automatic failure. He\u2019s worked AI into his curriculum where he can help kids develop their ideas or expand on certain points without sacrificing the subject matter at hand.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AI can also be a great way of demonstrating how easy it is to get disinformation on the internet. Lesson plans regarding media literacy can (and probably should) have extensive units on AI. Demonstrating its reliability, or lack thereof, in real time is the best deterrent there is.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In a strange, maybe ironic way, teachers can demonstrate the importance of a human touch to education through AI. AI may be able to write convincing sentences, but it can\u2019t formulate human ideas. It can\u2019t be creative. There\u2019s no heart in the essays it puts out. Ask your students, what\u2019s more enjoyable to read: a bland piece that relays the bare minimum, or a paper with real ideas, arguments, and points to be made?\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Learning to work with, not against, AI in school is the best way to move forward. If it\u2019s going to make its way into education, it should be seen as a supplement, not a scary dark cloud looming over schools. Just don\u2019t lose sight of what\u2019s really important: a quality education for all.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does it affect your classroom?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":15166,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4174,4206,4211],"tags":[22],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v19.3 (Yoast SEO v19.13) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How Artificial Intelligence is Affecting Schools - TeacherLists Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"AI has officially made its way to students.
