Generative artificial intelligence is playing a growing and significant role in our society," said State Superintendent Catherine Truitt. Students need to be taught how to use artificial intelligence in an economy and society that will increasingly use it and expect workers to use it, she said.

Using AI in all NC classrooms, but carefully

The state guidebook stresses the importance of incorporating AI into the classroom responsibly using it as a tool to aid in learning without becoming too reliant on it. A prompt for a chatbot, for example, if input improperly, can result in a response that contains false information created by the chatbot, rather than merely pulled from online sources by the chatbot.

NCDPI and AI for Education created the 'EVERY' framework for ethically sound ways to implement AI.

Time, training will determine how AI is used in NC schools

The departments Office of Digital Teaching and Learning worked with AI for Education to develop a framework for teaching artificial intelligence ethically, focusing on how to ensure artificial intelligence can provide correct information and to review information it compiles.

NC DPI cautions against believing the use of artificial intelligence to write papers would be cheating, because of the likelihood that the same process and skill will be widely accepted in the world of work.

Instead, the department encourages teaching students to build on the results they get from a chatbot and to cite their use of a chatbot. The department cautions teachers against using artificial intelligence detectors to detect the use of artificial intelligence because some of them can yield false positives or have other issues.

Many teachers use these detectors, while many others rely on long-standing methods of detecting whether a paper was written by another person entirely, such as quizzing a student in conversation about the paper.
