Why AI isn’t a calculator for reading and writing

One of the greatest challenges facing educators today is generative artificial intelligence (AI) and its ability to accurately and efficiently complete student assessments. Educators, policymakers, and parents alike have been globally debating the role that generative AI should play in our children’s education. On one side of the debate, policy makers in Italy have decided to completely ban AI in schools, while other nations have decided to adopt a more laissez faire approach. In order to make informed decisions about how to regulate students’ use of AI, it is imperative to understand the relationship between generative AI and students’ learning.
