Has your kid ever used artificial intelligence to answer homework questions that their teacher used artificial intelligence to write?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s possible, according to a\u00a0report\u00a0from the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts that found a majority of teachers in the state are using generative AI for planning or in the classroom, but also express concern that students\u2019 use of the technology could harm their learning.<\/p>\n

Teachers see promise in artificial intelligence<\/h3>\n

The poll, based on more than 13,000 teacher responses from across the state, found that 59% of those who responded said they use AI for teaching tasks.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have to ask a question directly toward the topic, and then the chatbot will give them more questions, give them information and then ask them questions, and until they\u2019re able to answer those questions effectively, they cannot move on,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd they love those escape rooms, they love to be the first to get out of the room.\u201d<\/p>\n

The task the polled teachers were most hesitant to use AI for was grading student work, with 62% saying they never do that.<\/p>\n
