Educators Urged to Embrace AI Responsibly Rather Than Imposing Futile Classroom Bans
• AI is an unavoidable reality that educators should embrace rather than ban from classrooms
• Teachers should learn about AI and how to utilize it responsibly instead of ignoring it
• Schools should teach students how to use AI safely, ethically, and to discern accurate from inaccurate information
• Banning AI in schools makes no more sense than banning the internet in the 1990s and risks leaving students unprepared
• Failure to properly prepare students to utilize AI puts powerful technology in the hands of youth without guidance, failing a main purpose of education
