The Homework Machine: AI creates gray areas for students and teachers

Today, we bring you the second story from our 2025 series: The Homework Machine. In part one, we heard about the rapid rise of AI, and what it’s meant for our schools and education. In this next episode we’ll hear how reporter Jesse Dukes has been working with researchers at MIT, speaking to teachers and students all across California and around the country. He learned that the arrival of ChatGPT and other AI tools has led to more cheating in schools… but, it’s not always easy to define what cheating IS… or to know what to do about it.
