Artificial intelligence in schools: Teachers use ChatGPT to grade papers

The use of artificial intelligence in school assessment is growing.

Here's What We Know

In a notable move towards the sanctioned use of AI in schools, some teachers in grades 3-12 are now using a ChatGPT-based assessment tool called Writable.

Writable allows teachers to submit student work for analysis by ChatGPT, which then provides comments and observations. While automated assessment can free up time for teachers, there are attempts to highlight its drawbacks, such as the potential for reducing the value of individual feedback and data privacy. In addition, there is a risk that artificial intelligence may make mistakes and misinterpret students' work.

Other groups of people argue that the use of artificial intelligence in education can have its advantages. They say it helps teachers have more time for more interesting things in the classroom. Tools like Writable claim to make teachers' lives easier and make learning more flexible. However, some parents are not sure whether it is a good idea to use artificial intelligence to assess student performance.

Companies are also developing similar tools for teachers, such as McGraw Hill.
