      AI for Educators - Matt Miller

      WELCOME TO THE AI REVOLUTION

      When you hear the term artificial intelligence, what comes to mind?

      It might conjure images right out of a dystopian novel, bots taking over the world and dominating humans.

      If you’re of a certain age, you might think of Rosey the Robot from the cartoon series, The Jetsons, or even HAL 9000, the AI computer from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.

      You might think of robotic arms in a factory.

      Or the AI waiters at Cafe 80s in the movie Back to the Future Part II.

      For a while, AI was a thing of the future. Even though it was making its way into our everyday lives, we didn’t always notice it.

      At least, I didn’t. Not until it stormed onto the scene in 2022 and demanded my attention.

      THIS THING WRITES FUNNY STORIES!

      I was dropping my kids off at our church for youth group on Friday, December 9, 2022. We hustled in from the cold parking lot, through the double entry doors, and into the big dining hall where everyone socialized.

      Suddenly, we were met by a group of enthusiastic middle schoolers.

      Hey, have you guys seen this thing? It’s called ChatGPT, and it can write these hilarious stories!

      We peered at one of their phones, which was displaying text about something like a dinosaur and Harry Styles preventing a zombie apocalypse and saving the world.

      Ha! That is hilarious! I said.

      I promptly became a user of ChatGPT, a creation by OpenAI that lets humans interact with its artificial intelligence in a conversational way.

      I thought I was an early adopter. I was wrong.

      ChatGPT amassed more than 1 million users in five days (Brockman, 2022). Five days. More than 1 million users beat me to ChatGPT, and I learned about it just a week after it was released publicly.

      It took Instagram about two months to reach 1 million users. Spotify took five months.

      After that, ChatGPT sprinted to 100 million monthly active users in two months (Hu, 2023).

      One million users in five days. One hundred million users in two months.

      How did ChatGPT take off so quickly?

      SCIENCE FICTION TURNED REALITY

      ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence assistant created by OpenAI. Users provide it with questions or prompts, and ChatGPT responds. It answers by drawing from an enormous dataset. It uses natural language processing so it responds and interacts in language that feels human.

      ChatGPT was a friendly face on AI, something many of us knew about through science fiction novels and movies. It was the public’s first real, official face-to-face interaction with artificial intelligence. Sure, AI has already been a part of our lives. Amazon had been suggesting products to us for a while. Our phones could unlock themselves with a face. And the algorithm for Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok controlled what posts we saw.

      But this…this was a conversation with AI. And it seemed so, so human.

      Pretty quickly, we all started to realize what it was capable of. On social media, you started seeing people use it to:

      ► Write rap song lyrics about asparagus and other vegetables.

      ► Gather recipes for the week and create a shopping list for the grocery store.

      ► Create code in a variety of programming languages—code that worked!

      ► Write poetry in the style of poets that had been dead for centuries.

      ► Explain existentialism in terms a child can understand.

      ► Brainstorm party themes for a 29-year-old.

      For us educators, the gears in our brains started turning pretty quickly.

      Wait, we thought. If it can do all of that, what’s stopping it from writing our students’ essays and completing their homework for them?

      What does this change in education?

      STUDENTS, MEET THE AI WORLD

      In short, AI is going to change a lot in the education world.

      Wait. Let’s not be shortsighted. AI will change the world in some ways.

      AI expert Kai-Fu Lee writes, Artificial intelligence (AI) could be the most transformative technology in the history of mankind—and we may not even see much of this sweeping change coming. That’s because we often overestimate what technologies can do in five years, and underestimate what they will be able to do in 20 (2022).

      If AI is going to change the world in the near future, we need to prepare students for that world. That means we’ll need to change too.

      Here’s one big change we’ll need to make:

      One of the first reactions so many of us had to the release of ChatGPT was: Are there AI detectors? Can I find out if this writing is done by my students or artificial intelligence? Can we block it?

      For our students’ sake, to prepare them for the future, we can’t look at the world through today glasses.

      We must use our tomorrow glasses.

      That’s looking at the situation through today glasses.

      Today glasses judge AI (and other innovations and technology) based on the reality of today. The norms and expectations of today. Our view today of what’s important, what’s ethical, what’s relevant.

      For our students’ sake, to prepare them for the future, we can’t look at the world through today glasses.

      We must use our tomorrow glasses.

      Think of a student who’s 10 years old today. In eight years, she will graduate high school. In another four years, she will graduate college. She’ll enter the workforce in 12 years. At that point, artificial intelligence will be 12 years more sophisticated than it is right now.

      Don’t forget what Kai-Fu Lee just told us. We overestimate what technologies can do in five years. We underestimate what they will be able to do in 20.

      What does this mean for that 10-year-old student? How can we prepare students for that future world?

      And what does that look like in the classroom today? How can our day-to-day lessons support students in light of that future?

      TEACHERS, MEET THE AI WORLD

      As educators, we’re hard-wired to want what’s best for our students. It’s our natural tendency to think about how to support them and what they need. We just did that above.

      But let’s stop for a moment and think about ourselves.

      What does AI have in store for us? Will it render teachers obsolete?

      No way. I mean, who would help kindergarteners tie their shoes and open their milk cartons? Who
