Wicked Opportunities: Leveraging AI to Transform Education – Center on Reinventing Public Education
While the United States leads the world in AI innovation, our schools lag in preparing teachers and students for the impact of this unprecedented technological shift. In April 2024, CRPE convened over 60 state and federal policymakers, edtech innovators, school system leaders, and advocates to discuss how AI can drive meaningful and positive change in

Essay challenge: ChatGPT vs students
Essay challenge: ChatGPT vs students
Researchers have been putting ChatGPT essays to the test against real students. A new study reveals that the AI generated essays don't yet live up to the efforts of real students. While the AI essays were found to be impressively coherent and grammatically sound, they fell short in one crucial area -- they lacked a personal touch. It is hoped that the findings could help educators spot cheating in schools, colleges and universities worldwide by recognizing machine-generated essays.

Generative AI like ChatGPT is at risk of creating new gender gap at work
Generative AI like ChatGPT is at risk of creating new gender gap at work
Artificial intelligence tools such as ChatGPT can be a boon for productivity, but when it comes to adopting the technology, a significant gender gap exists.
But when researchers looked at the demographics, they discovered that women were 16 percentage points less likely than men to use ChatGPT for job tasks, even when comparing workers within the same occupation and with similar job responsibilities.

OSF Preprints | Pedagogical Biases in AI-Powered Educational Tools: The Case of Lesson Plan Generators
This paper examines pedagogical biases in AI-powered educational tools, focusing specifically on lesson plan generators. We investigate how these tools may implicitly embed outdated educational approaches that limit student agency and classroom dialogue. Through analysis of 90 lesson plans from commercial lesson plan generators, we found that AI-generated content predominantly promotes teacher-centered classrooms with limited opportunities for student choice, goal-setting, and meaningful dialogue. To mitigate this issue, we further experimented with intentional prompt engineering, which showed promise in significantly enhancing these dimensions in AI-generated lesson plans. We offer practical strategies for educators and developers to mitigate harmful pedagogical biases while promoting contemporary educational values. This work contributes to the critical conversation about how AI tools should be designed and used to support, rather than undermine, the future of education that values student agency and productive classroom dialogue.
