Urging his colleagues to develop policies now to discourage the integration of such technology into classroom environments, the outgoing School Committee member, who is not seeking re-election in November, volunteered to jump-start that process by meeting with central office administrators to review how AI might be integrated into the curriculum.
“I tend to be a technology-positive person. I’m an early adopter of a lot things. But AI to me is a very dangerous road [to travel down] when it comes to education and I’m concerned about [sending] a message that there is a way for students to use it safely,” said the School Committee member, who is employed as a high school history teacher in Billerica.
