Artificial Intelligence is aiding natural intelligence at the Dartmouth public schools

Dartmouth High School is incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into its education to foster AI literacy, which is deemed a top necessary skill for student readiness.
The integration aims to address equity concerns, ensuring students are prepared for future opportunities in college or careers.
The school uses Google Gemini, ensuring compliance with data protection regulations and not collecting student data.
Students are guided according to a four-tiered level of AI usage, ranging from no AI usage to completely AI-generated work.
Despite the benefits, the school stresses the importance of maintaining critical thinking skills through careful use of AI.
Concerns about AI include its environmental impact, biases, artistic creativity, and social isolation, but the administration believes the necessity of AI outweighs these issues.
AI will be used across different aspects of education, from peer editing to helping create lesson plans, but teachers will review the AI-generated material.
Honesty about AI usage is emphasized; claiming an AI-generated piece as one’s own will be treated as plagiarism.
The school considers all feelings and perspectives about AI valid but is committed to exposing students to AI literacy due to its pervasive influence in the world today.
