Well, I think school district leaders should constantly remember that, for organizations like OpenAI, giving away ChatGPT is a customer acquisition strategy.

These companies are trying to build brand affinity and make students customers for life. And our public school system should be very careful about how we invite any kind of company into what we take as a public good and as a good that students can't refuse. I think there are some districts that are exploring questions like, should students and families be able to refuse, be able to say, actually, I don't want my students introduced to those tools, and how would they logistically work with that and how would that work?

Probably, the other thing that school districts really need to keep in mind is that this free technology they're getting is venture capital-subsidized technology. This is like the Uber rides you used to get for $8 across town. One day, the investors will want their money back. And when that day comes, we may find that the consumer experience of these tools gets much, much worse, that either they become more expensive or they have more advertisements, more sponsored content, all kinds of things that maybe we really don't want happening inside of our schools.

So school district leaders making these big purchases or these big acceptances of free resources from schools really need to think carefully, not only about the decisions they're making now, but what they may be locking themselves into for the future.“[/quote]
