AI’s giants want to take over the classroom

Companies may face an arduous battle. At the present time, most of the audience sees the use of artificial intelligence in the semester that nothing is destroy New York For example, the magazine described how easy it is to climb through the college thanks to the continuous access to Chatgpt).

Amid this attack, artificial intelligence companies insist that artificial intelligence promise more individual learning, planning for the fastest and most creative lessons, and faster classification. The companies that sponsor this initiative, of course, do not do so from the goodness of their hearts.

No – because they are looking for profits, their goal is to make users of teachers and students. Antarbur works to display artificial intelligence models for universities, and Openai offers free courses for teachers. In an initial training session for teachers by the New National Academy for Artificial Intelligence Education, representatives of Microsoft teachers showed how AI used the company to plan lessons and emails, according to what he said New York Times.

They are the first days, but what does the evidence say about whether artificial intelligence helps or hurts students? There is no less than some data to support the issue provided by technology companies: A recent survey that included 1,500 teenagers conducted by Harvard’s Graduate College that children use artificial intelligence and answer the questions they are afraid to ask in the semester. Studies examining the settings ranging from mathematics classes in Nigeria have indicated to physics courses in colleges at Harvard University that artificial intelligence teachers can lead students to become more involved.

However, there is more for the story. The same Harvard survey revealed that children also use Amnesty International for cheating and shortcuts. A student of Microsoft found that relying on artificial intelligence can reduce critical thinking. Not to mention the fact that “hallucinations” of incorrect information is an inevitable part of how large language models make.

There is the lack of clear evidence that artificial intelligence can be a clear benefit for students, and it is difficult to trust that artificial intelligence companies finance this initiative will provide sincere advice on when no To use artificial intelligence in the classroom.

Despite the uproar about the launch of the academy, the fact that the training of the first teachers is scheduled to happen in just a few months, Openai and Anthropic told me that they could not share any details.

It is not as if the teachers themselves are not already struggling with how to deal with artificial intelligence. One of these teachers, Christopher Harris, who leads a library system covering 22 rural school regions in New York, has created a curriculum aimed at erasing illiteracy Amnesty International. Topics range from privacy when using smart speakers (a lesson for second grade students) to wrong and in -depth information (high school instructions). I asked him what he wants to see in the curriculum used by the new National Academy to teach artificial intelligence.
