Cheating using AI is one of my most recent fears in teaching.  Students becoming reliant on technology like this and then never using their own thought process and then struggling when they take a regent’s exam with no tech is a scary thought.  The video gives some suggestions to teachers to combat AI for cheating.  The speakers in the video suggest doing more “in” school rather than at home to monitor more and close the inequity gap between what kids have access to at home.  They also suggest getting more creative and crafty with the types of assignments we give students that are not so generic and easily able to be plugged into a GPT.  Create assignments that require thinking even in that step. 

So far, I have not explored using AI in many ways.  I have played around with Chat GPT but mainly to understand its capabilities and how students can use it to cheat assignments.  Some things I have used that have AI built into them are simple items like google drive and maps.  Tech tools like this that have siri or algorithms built in to them to generate what you might like or steer your attention to a certain topic/content.  I use these mainly for content creation, not knowingly for the AI element.  But it is clear that AI is more present than we realize.
