“Immediately after that story broke, I filed 60 public records requests with state departments of education and a few major local school districts to learn more about how—and if—they were training teachers to think about ChatGPT and generative AI… The documents, taken in their totality, show that American public schools were wildly unprepared for students’ widespread adoption of ChatGPT, which has since become one of the biggest struggles in American education.”
