Prince George’s County Public Schools is grappling with classroom use of ChatGPT — an artificial intelligence chatbot making waves in public school systems across the country.


The conversation around AI chatbots comes as neighboring school systems, such as Montgomery County Public Schools and Baltimore County Public Schools, have completely banned ChatGPT from school networks. The technology’s remarkable capabilities, such as creating unique content pulled from many different sources, create both concerns of plagiarism and opportunities for learning.


District 2 Board of Education member Jonathan Briggs, a former educator and resident of Prince George’s County, explained how the chatbot’s unique design presents a new and complex challenge public schools have yet to face. One of ChatGPT’s largest impacts on students is potentially diminishing the need for critical thinking skills due to an increased reliance on the technology.
