School Committee, high school staff discuss artificial intelligence pros and cons

Wareham High School forms an AI committee composed of faculty to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence for students and faculty.
Principal Scott Palladino emphasized the necessity to embrace AI and teach students its responsible use to prevent plagiarism.
Training sessions led by AI consultant Greg Kulowiec introduced practical AI applications for learning and highlighted potential negative impacts.
Less than five students have been disciplined for improper AI usage, but more consultant-led professional development is planned.
Evidence of students using AI for homework has raised concerns about its effect on their learning. However, some teachers see its potential benefits, like helping students organize notes.
Many teachers have returned to traditional teaching methods, disregarding AI’s full potential due to over-reliance on digital tools.
The committee aims to create a formal AI policy to implement in the school starting next fall.
