OpenAI and Common Sense Media Launch AI Training for Teachers

The free course aims to integrate AI tools into classrooms, though some educators express concerns over ethical implications.

OpenAI has released a free online course designed to help K-12 teachers incorporate its AI chatbot, ChatGPT, into educational settings.
The course, developed with Common Sense Media, covers AI basics, ethical considerations, and practical applications for classroom use.
While OpenAI reports positive feedback from pilot schools, some educators worry about privacy issues and the potential normalization of AI in education.
Critics highlight concerns over data privacy, the ethical use of AI, and OpenAI's influence in the educational tech space.
Despite skepticism, OpenAI is expanding its presence in education, seeing it as a significant growth area with a potential market value of $88.2 billion.
