Students in the Indian Hills School District are returning to the classroom Wednesday.
Just like many workplaces, Indian Hills schools are incorporating artificial intelligence into their K-12 classrooms more and more.
District CEO Superintendent Kirk Koennecke say they started to dive into what this could be about three years ago by introducing it to the staff and then letting their students know how these new tools work in the real world in high-demand careers.
For the older students, they have a pathway through computer science and coding classes with AI built in.
They also talk about the ethics of using a powerful tool like AI.
“We tell people AI isn’t like putting a microwave in your kitchen, it’s the house. So, we have to learn to live in this world and we have to double down on ethics and morals and governance, and think about making critical decisions, so we can use these powerful tools to make things better,” Koennecke told WLWT.
