Today we're going to explain what AI can (and can't) do right now and explain how we got to where we are today.

"To prepare students for the careers of today — and tomorrow — educators must explore and integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into K-12 classrooms. AI is already making its way into classrooms in the form of adaptive software, recommendation engines and digital assistants and is a critical element of any STEM curriculum. And generative technologies like ChatGPT, while causing a stir, present an opportunity to transform learning — as long as educators and learners understand how to strike the proper balance between the risks and benefits."
