Generative AI and Creative Learning: Concerns, Opportunities, and Choices
Mitchel Resnick
Abstract
As each new wave of technology ripples through society, we need to decide if and how to integrate the technology into our learning environments. That was true with personal computers, then with the internet, and now with generative AI technologies. For each new technology, there are many different ways that we can integrate the technology into how we teach and learn. These choices are critically important: different choices can have very different outcomes and implications.How should we make these choices? I think we need to decide what type of learning and education we want for our children, our schools, and our societyâand then design new technologies and applications that align with our educational values and visions.What does that mean for the integration of new generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT into our learning environments?Â
