Artificial Intelligence in Education
AI in Education
With the release of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that generates text responses to prompts, and its subsequent banning in multiple school districts across the country, increased attention is being paid to the challenges and opportunities these types of tools present. DFI is creating and collecting resources to help envision new educational possibilities with this and other AI technologies.
