Despite cheating fears, schools repeal ChatGPT bans

Walla Walla High School in Washington state is integrating artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots, like ChatGPT, into its curriculum. The school district held a workshop on AI chatbots for educators, marking a significant shift from earlier this year when they blocked access to ChatGPT due to concerns about misinformation and cheating. Now, educators are considering how to use chatbots as tools for teaching writing, lesson planning, and creativity. The school district aims to prepare students for the AI-powered world they will inherit, recognizing the need for balancing the benefits and potential drawbacks of AI in education.
