AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. Although the thought of it may sound scary from the older movies about robots taking over, this AI in todays world is surrounding us more and more. When you think of scrolling on your social medias, advertisements that present themselves from things you may have previously said out loud, and even images you may see for news or commercials are created using AI. What does this mean for your scholar? There are new apps and websites that are solely AI. "Grammarly, ChatGPT, Canva, Adobe, Chegg; etc." These can pose a threat to your students creative thinking and ability to problem solve on their own. These are handy tools, but they should never be the provider of their work. AI can also pose threats on things such as gaming apps, snapchat or other online activites. Please use supervision and online safety when handling AI.
