Zoe Thomas: Doug Belkin is an education reporter with the Wall Street Journal. He's talking about generative AI programs. The one you're probably most familiar with is ChatGPT. Since it launched back in November, ChatGPT and other tools like it have raised questions about how they could reshape entire industries. According to consulting firm McKinsey, generative AI will increase productivity, potentially adding trillions of dollars a year to the global economy.
Antonio Wray Garcia: When it came out originally, a lot of people were like, "Whoa," skeptical, "what's this?" Not me. I went straight into it. I was like, "What's this? What's that?" Asking questions, testing its limits. Zoe Thomas: Wray says a lot of teachers at his school, Manor New Technology High School, now support using generative AI, that includes the principal who also happens to be Ray's dad. Principal Bobby Garcia says he wants his teachers to figure out ways to incorporate AI programs into their classrooms and he doesn't consider students who use it to be cheating.
Bobby Garcia: The answer is, we don't know. So that's something that we're having to navigate through ourselves. One of the things that we like to show our kids is that life is messy and complicated.
Zoe Thomas: Some schools, even entire school districts, banned ChatGPT when it came out, including New York City public schools, Seattle public schools, and the Los Angeles Unified School District. New York has since reversed that decision, and Seattle says its now allowing teachers and some students studying computer science to use it. But for schools that want to prevent or limit the use of generative AI tools, they've now got AI of their own. One example is GPTZero.
