I'm Shumita Basu.
Today, how AI is transforming classrooms.
In November of 2022, the tech company Open AI released Chat GPT.
It was met with excitement, big questions and also worries about its potential impact on our lives and our jobs.
And one of the biggest reactions came from educators.
It's brand new.
We weren't ready for this.
My first reaction was absolutely panic.
There's a lot of worry about what it's going to mean for our classrooms.
I mean, it's a game changer and it's just the first of its kind.
I ask people how they'd use Chat GPT and they'd use it for all kinds of things I hadn't expected, right?
If we can find ways to teach kids, hey, how's that working?
How could we improve it?
I think that's a much better way than just saying, we're just going to ban all technology.
Within two months of the launch, New York City's Department of Education put a block in place to limit its use.
But soon after, the department changed its mind.
And now, just three years later, the seven biggest districts in the country use Chat GPT or other AI products in some form.
Some examples of what that looks like includes teachers using AI chatbot-like products to come up with lessons,
to build tests or quizzes, to then grade those tests or quizzes.
