Looking to create some policy -- or guidance for teachers and students -- for responsible, ethical use of artificial intelligence in class? Check out these 10+ AI resources.
Ever since ChatGPT was unveiled in 2022, schools and school districts have been trying to understand the place of artificial intelligence assistants in education.
Even individual teachers have considered it for their classrooms (especially if their districts are slow to adopt).
We want to preserve education.
We want students to think.
We want them to develop skills.
We don't want to pretend that AI doesn't exist, because that doesn't prepare students for their future.
But we also want to be careful, to use it ethically and responsibly.
How can we craft school policies that reflect that?
I asked educators on Twitter, and their responses revealed several resources you can use to guide the creation of your own policies.

Rightfully, there is concern that students will plug in assignment prompts into AI Chatbots such as ChatGPT and Google Bard in order to complete their assignments. As EdTech evolves, so do the tools that we use to facilitate teaching and learning. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers a variety of benefits to the English Language Arts classroom, including improved personalization and support for learners. However, we need to ensure that these tools are used responsibly, maintaining academic integrity and the core purpose of English education. Here are some suggested elements to include in your acceptable use policy on your syllabus for your class.

International Baccalaureate was one of the first academic organizations to issue a statement that didn't condemn the use of ChatGPT and similar AI assistants. Its guidance statement recognizes that it can have a place in teaching and learning, but that students' work should be their own. It can help guide policy making in schools and school districts.

In February 2023, a Florida high school found that students were using artificial intelligence assistants like ChatGPT to do their schoolwork.
The response, according to news reports: students could face "more severe consequences" if they didn't admit to using AI in their work, and they might be withheld from graduating.
