ChatGPT in the Classroom: Tool or Temptation?

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy explores the implications of using AI tools like ChatGPT in education, particularly among teens. Recent Pew Research Center data reveals a significant increase in the number of teens using ChatGPT for schoolwork, rising from 13% in 2023 to 26%. While over half of teens find it acceptable to use ChatGPT for researching new topics, a notable percentage still believe its use in writing essays and solving math problems constitutes cheating. Dr. Kathy encourages listeners to engage in meaningful conversations with young people about the impact of technology on learning, discernment, and the potential risks of relying too heavily on AI. Join us as we navigate this complex topic and consider the balance between utilizing technology and maintaining academic integrity.
