You realize everyone is using ChatGPT whether there is a FCPS version or not, right?
Kids who are harmed by chatbot are seriously questionable to start with. I cannot imagine any kid I know not knowing that its a chatbot/computer and developing a "best friend" with it. They better learn how to coexist because AI is not going anywhere.

It's going to be a huge shock to these kids' systems when they show up in college and sit down at a desk with a blue book then, which is what college professors are largely doing to avoid the temptation to use AI.

OMG dramatic much. This is for teacher use....

Every major corporation is embracing AI to streamline operations and cut costs, but sure public schools should stick their heads in the sand and ignore it.

Education (specifically Education Technology) is a huge business. We are talking hundreds of billions already and that’s projected to at least double within the next 5-10 years, largely due to AI.

The incompetence and laziness of FCPS’s leadership knows no bounds, apparently.

***FCPS has joined a pilot for “ChatGPT for Teachers” without public explanation, safety review, or parental consent. OpenAI’s tools carry documented risks for children, teachers, and student data. We are asking the School Board to pause the rollout, engage families, and establish safeguards before proceeding.
Please sign and share this petition if you are in favor of FCPS engaging families and establishing safeguards before it continues its roll-out of AI tools in our schools.
