Last winter, the<\/span> unveiling of OpenAI\u2019s alarmingly sophisticated chatbot sent educators into a tailspin. Generative AI, it was feared, would enable rampant cheating and plagiarism, and even make high school English obsolete. Universities debated updating plagiarism policies. Some school districts outright banned ChatGPT from their networks. Now, a new school year presents new challenges\u2014and, for some, new opportunities.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Nearly a year into the generative AI hype, early alarm among educators has given way to pragmatism. Many students have clued into the technology\u2019s tendency to \u201challucinate,\u201d or fabricate information. David Banks, the chancellor of New York City Public Schools, wrote that the district was now \u201cdetermined to embrace\u201d generative AI\u2014despite having banned it from school networks last year. Many teachers are now focusing on assignments that require critical thinking, using AI to spark new conversations in the classroom, and becoming wary of tools that claim to be able to catch AI cheats.<\/p>\n

Institutions and educators now also find themselves in the uneasy position of not just grappling with a technology that they didn\u2019t ask for, but also reckoning with something that could radically reshape their jobs and the world in which their students will grow up.<\/p>\n

Lisa Parry, a K\u201312 school principal and AP English Language and Composition teacher in rural Arlington, South Dakota, says she\u2019s \u201ccautiously embracing\u201d generative AI this school year. She\u2019s still worried about how ChatGPT, which is not blocked on school networks, might enable cheating. But she also points out that plagiarism has always been a concern for teachers, which is why, each year, she has her students write their first few assignments in class so she can get a sense of their abilities.<\/p>\n

This year, Parry plans to have her English students use ChatGPT as \u201ca search engine on steroids\u201d to help brainstorm essay topics. \u201cChatGPT has great power to do good, and it has power to undermine what we\u2019re trying to do here academically,\u201d she says. \u201cBut I don\u2019t want to throw the baby out with the bathwater.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parry\u2019s thinking is in line with an idea that ChatGPT might do for writing and research what a calculator did for math: aid students in the most tedious portions of work, and allow them to achieve more. But educators are also grappling with the technology before anyone really understands which jobs or tasks it may automate\u2014or before there\u2019s consensus on how it might best be used. \u201cWe are taught different technologies as they emerge,\u201d says Lalitha Vasudevan, a professor of technology and education at Teachers College at Columbia University. \u201cBut we actually have no idea how they\u2019re going to play out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cheat Codes<\/p>\n

The race to weed out cheaters\u2014generative AI or not\u2014continues. Turnitin, the popular plagiarism checker, has developed an AI detection tool that highlights which portions of a piece of writing may have been generated by AI. Between April and July, Turnitin reviewed more than 65 million submissions, and found that 10.3 percent of those submissions contained AI writing in potentially more than 20 percent of their work, with about 3.3 percent of submissions being flagged as potentially 80 percent AI-generated. But such systems are not foolproof: Turnitin says there\u2019s about a 4 percent false positive rate on its detector in determining whether a sentence was written by AI.<\/p>\n

Because of those false positives, Turnitin also recommends educators have conversations with students rather than failing them or accusing them of cheating. \u201cIt\u2019s just supposed to be information for the educator to decide what they want to do with it,\u201d says Annie Chechitelli, Turnitin\u2019s chief product officer. \u201cIt is not perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
