Conversations about the implications of artificial intelligence are everywhere. They are in education, health care, law enforcement, the military, and the music and art worlds. AI鈥檚 potential to transform society is both promising and scary.

The emergence of ChatGPT this school year and related concerns about students using it to plagiarize assignments has put AI front and center in schools.
