Former Massachusetts Commissioner Jeff Riley, now part of MIT's "Day of AI" staff, was in New Hampshire last week on this one:
They said AI can do things like help grade papers, sort lesson plans and communicate with parents.
Yes, let's definitely remove educators from giving feedback to students on their learning, planning the learning, and--I don't even need to rephrase this one!--communicating with families! Good plan!
Riley's push?
"...I think we can try to hold back the tide. We can bury our heads in the sand, or we can try to surf the wave. And what we're asking people today is to try to surf the wave of AI and do it safely and productively."
This is of course the same old argument we've heard since forever that whatever-the-new-thing is default is good, and how dare you, those educated and trained in actually doing it, question it?
Question it. And don't fall for this line, either.
