And so while Chao sees ChatGPT making its way into the academic dishonesty section of the student handbook and “general casual discussions on how it can and/or can’t be used in the classroom,” he acknowledges that the future of ChatGPT at Nueva is still very unknown.

Alexis is hopeful about this unknown, expressing optimism that ChatGPT may set up a “proper environment at Nueva to have these types of conversations as technology is progressing,” which she believes that the school “doesn’t really have yet.”

“I feel like experimenting with ChatGPT in a classroom environment is part of an education, because we’re learning how to really explore a gray space, and how we can then collaborate to create more regulated spaces,” Alexis said. “It’s less about the actual content and more about the habits that we develop around approaching new technology—as we grow up, we’re going to encounter new technology that we’ll have to adapt to, so we should start early in learning how to process and deal with unexpected developments in different settings.”

Despite many’s hopeful perspective on the future of AI, there is still an underlying others like Carpenter still feel a little wary. But she is optimistic about the future of AI and new technology at Nueva and ultimately believes that it’s an important— albeit daunting—opportunity for progress.

“ChatGPT might be a tool that I use at some point this semester, maybe once, to sort of play around with it. Because after all, we are Nueva, right? It’s a very handson learning environment,” Carpenter said. “I think at some point, I’ll bring it into the classroom to use it as a tool, but as of right now I’m not ready to just jump right in. More conversations need to be had first.”
