We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...

nbcnews.comAI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

The article you’re sharing touts a teacher making students use “A.i.” to design ugly sweaters. That’s a repugnant use of tech based on theft to rob kids of the chance to use their own minds and hands to actually draw. Do you support that attack on human creativity?

Not even just any students! Students who are disabled and/or speak English as a second or third language! It feels very condescending to be honest. "You'll never be able to do this so we won't even give you the chance to try."

This all makes me very, very, very sad. Every kid can draw. Every kid can create on their own. This evil tech tells them all they are less-than. To hell with that.

Furthermore, the companies you've partnered with, including OpenAI, are run by Trump supporting billionaires. You're giving them access to children's minds via this technology. These billionaires have the power to use "A.i." to push right wing and even Nazi propaganda, as we've seen with Musk.

How do you justify helping give these morally and ethically repugnant billionaires access to teachers and children via their tech, which is based on theft and notorious for both incorrectness, disinformation, and racist/bigoted propaganda?

You also say, "Teachers need to know the tool" and then promise "we are fighting for legal safeguards." But you've partnered with OpenAI to create your "AI Academy." Why should we trust you to curb the obvious harms of "A.i." when you've partnered with the creator of ChatGPT?
