The Indian Prairie School District 204 office is at the Crouse Education Center at 780 Shoreline Drive in Aurora. The District 204 Board of Education this week received an update on the district’s plans concerning artificial intelligence. Indian Prairie School District 204 is planning to incorporate discussions of artificial intelligence into its curriculum at all grade levels and give high school students access to AI tools like Microsoft Copilot next school year.
Generative Artificial Intelligence, more commonly known as AI, is a computer software tool that studies a large amount of information, such as documents, photos or audio, and then, when prompted by a person, can create similar content based on the information it was trained on, according to a blog post by IBM Research.
AI tools like Microsoft Copilot can also act “almost as a tutor” for students who are struggling with certain content, said Tania Moneim, a task force member and instructional specialist for equity and innovation. Not all families are able to pay for tutors, so these tools might help fill that gap, she said.
She said sixth-grade students will get a deeper look at what AI is, seventh-graders will begin engaging with AI tools and eighth-graders will begin creating their own AI tools. Board member Justin Karubas said that, in addition to other efforts, new policies should be made defining what academic dishonesty looks like after AI tools are allowed to be used.
