New York City’s education department will rescind its ban on the wildly popular chatbot ChatGPT — which some worried could inspire more student cheating — from its schools’ devices and networks.
, Chancellor of New York City Public Schools David Banks outlined the school system's plans to engage with ChatGPT, a chatbot created by artificial intelligence company OpenAI, and similar tools.
Banks said officials held discussions with tech industry leaders"about their platforms’ potential and the future possibilities for schools, educators, and students." They also"consulted our most trusted experts — citywide educators, many of whom had already started teaching about the future and ethics of AI."
Going forward, Banks said educators will be provided with"resources and real-life examples of successful AI implementation in schools to improve administrative tasks, communication, and teaching." They will also offer"a toolkit of resources for educators to use as they initiate discussions and lessons about AI in their classrooms."
