With the rise of AI technologies like ChatGPT, teachers and parents are now tasked with identifying whether students have used AI to complete their schoolwork. While some educators see AI as a valuable resource, others remain skeptical.

But can AI actually be a viable tool in schools? Some teachers say it can be -- if it's used the right way.

"ChatGPT is really great for kids who struggle with a first draft," said Noriko Nakada, an English teacher and parent. "I'm going to encourage my students to do that. This is a resource. Let's not pretend it doesn't exist.""That is absolutely the exact wrong answer," Karen North, a USC professor and expert in digital social media. "That's where the analysis is somebody else's.

North is also worried that plagiarism-detection software is not able to accurately identify those who are using AI -- leading to honest students being flagged for cheating when they're not."The whole AI thing is so overly trusted for such a ridiculously flawed system," North said."I don't know that they're going to be dumber, they're just going to be undercooked," Joseph said.

The AI lesson most experts say is top-of-line: Parents have to start using it themselves, so they can coach their kids on when -- and when not -- to use it.Copyright © 2023 KABC Television, LLC. All rights reserved.
