OpenAI released a major change to ChatGPT-3.5 on Monday, paving the way for more widespread adoption globally and lower barriers to experimentation. But it could also have some concerning consequences for students.

A new study from academic researchers shows (again) that these tools are extremely unreliable, and when simple anti-detection techniques are deployed their limited accuracy collapses. What it means and how we should move forward.

Big news in the world of AI and Education as the Los Angeles Unified School District introduces a new AI platform and chatbot named "Ed," designed to assist parents and students as a personal aid.

From Google's Gemini issues to the recent news coming out of Microsoft, we know that GenAI image generators are problematic and deeply biased. Why the "move fast and break things" mentality is just not working for GenAI,

We recently ran our first school-wide “Prompt-a-thon” event at Summit Atlas High School in Seattle. The AI for Education team facilitated a day where students and teachers came together to solve community problems using generative AI, guided by the principles of both design thinking and liberatory design.

Ever been frustrated trying to get GenAI image generators to include specific words only to have it constantly misspell or mangle the letters? Well, we've been experimenting with a free text-to-image creator launched widely yesterday, Ideogram, that's really been delighting our team at AI for Education.

Our work got some air time on CNN this week! As a part of their segment on North Carolina's new AI guidance which features a number of our resources, they highlighted the EVERY framework AI for Education developed in collaboration with Vera Cubero. Watch the clip!

A recent study published in Science shows how babies can teach AI a thing or two about language. NYU researchers developed a machine learning model that mimics the way children learn language, utilizing 61 hours of first-person video and audio from an infant's perspective. The footage was gathered through a head-mounted camera worn by a child from 6 to 25 months (check out the adorable picture below).

This week featured one of the proudest moments for AI for Education. As part of our year-long collaboration with the NYC DOE's HE3AT program, we have been working with a group of 11th and 12th graders from South Brooklyn to help shape GenAI policy proposals as part of the DOE's AI Policy Lab.

Amanda recently spoke at the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) 2024 AI+Education Summit on a panel focused on "What do Educators Need from AI." Her answer was: It’s a lot more than we think.

Gemini Advanced Challenges ChatGPT-4 for AI Dominance

Last Friday we hosted our first GenAI workshop for caregivers at Lexington High School in Massachusetts. It was an amazing experience that emphasized the importance of engaging caregivers in the conversation about AI in education. Here's what we learned:

GenAI has enormous potential to transform the education system, but ChatGPT-4 is just too expensive for schools. Here’s what we’d like to see from OpenAI and why it’s so important.
