Does Artificial Intelligence Belong In Schools?

Regarding 'A Teachers Union's Dangerous Embrace of AI' (op-ed, Aug. 1), I agree with Rebecca Zimmerman's prescription for helping students flourish—focusing on mental health initiatives, cellphone bans during the school day and science-based reading curriculums—all priorities the American Federation of Teachers champions. Where we disagree is over the effect of artificial intelligence in education, specifically Ms. Zimmerman's assertion that AI is 'another fad that will distract teachers.' AI already has an inescapable influence on nearly every part of our lives. I believe, for better or worse, that it will be as transcendent as the printing press.
