Key takeaways
1. Students are using a multitude of AI tools that extend far beyond ChatGPT to assist with not just their schoolwork, but life.
2. The need to create safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental spaces for students to ask questions about their uses of AI, outside the context of conversations about academic honesty.
3. The valuable skills of learning how to write and think critically may be what sets up students for success in the uncertain world they face.

“Writing is like running, in that most everyone can do it, so they think it’s easy, but it’s very hard to do well.” This insightful quip was shared with me by a Polygence mentor during a conversation about the ways in which AI is changing the way students think about and complete writing projects and assignments. As adults, especially those of us who are knowledge workers, we often forget the amount of practice, learning, and yes, even failure, that goes into learning to write well.
