Interesting Articles on Artificial Itelligence's Possible Impact on Education

The holiday break always provides some time to catch up on interesting topics and reads. Here are a few articles I have meant to read about the impact of artificial intelligence on education -- the pros and the cons! 

1. WSJ's "ChatGPT, Explained: What to Know About OpenAI's Chatbot" (7-minute introductory video)

2.  WaPo's "Why I’m not worried about my students using ChatGPT"

3. USA Today's "'This shouldn’t be a surprise' The education community shares mixed reactions to ChatGPT"

4. NYT's "Alarmed by A.I. Chatbots, Universities Start Revamping How They Teach"

5. WaPo's "Teachers are on alert for inevitable cheating after release of ChatGPT"

6. NYT's "Is A.I. the Future of Test Prep?"

7. EDsource's "Don’t throw out standardized student testing – make it better"

8. EDsurge's "Educators Are Taking Action in AI Education to Make Future-Ready Communities"

9. The Guardian's "Is this by Rothko or a robot? We ask the experts to tell the difference between human and AI art" (Plus watch the first two minutes of this video to see how it works with art.)

10. The Journal's "Is ChatGPT Writing Your Students' Homework? A New Technology Will Be Able to Detect It" AI writers like ChatGPT can often produce work that is, at least on first glance, indistinguishable from human writing. With a simple prompt like "write an essay on symbolism in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness," ChatGPT can spit out an organized, coherent, expository essay in seconds. And no two essays will be identical.

11. WSJ's "Cheating With ChatGPT: Can OpenAI’s Chatbot Pass AP Lit?" (7-minute video)

12. NYT Lesson Plan on ChatGPT

13. WaPo "A writing teacher got schooled by ChatGPT. Here’s what he learned." April 2023

14. EdWeek's "Want to Keep Kids From Using ChatGPT to Cheat? Test Them" Differently July 2023

15. FreeTech4Teachers Blog (PDF is attached, Google Docs version here)

16. "Professors have a summer assignment: Prevent ChatGPT chaos in the fall" WaPo August 2023
