Teachers across the United States are increasingly using artificial intelligence to develop lesson plans, and in some districts, AI chatbots are giving students feedback on their work, according to NPR.
The report describes the current landscape as a "Wild West," noting that research into how AI actually helps or hinders student learning remains extremely limited despite the technology's rapid adoption in classrooms.
NPR's report did not specify which school districts have adopted AI chatbots for student feedback or detail the specific tools teachers are using to build lesson plans.
Education researchers have raised questions about AI's role in classrooms, including concerns about accuracy, over-reliance by students, and the pace at which schools are integrating the technology ahead of clear evidence on its effects.
The report did not indicate whether any school districts or education authorities have introduced specific guidelines governing AI use in the classroom.
