News Summary
Educational institutions in Greenville are adapting to the rise of artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI technologies like ChatGPT. This shift presents both opportunities and challenges, prompting revised academic policies at Greenville Technical College and cautious approaches in K-12 schools. While GTC has established guidelines against AI plagiarism, Greenville County Schools is exploring responsible AI integration.

Greenville’s Schools Adjust to the AI Boom in Education
In Greenville, the winds of change are blowing through educational institutions as they grapple with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, especially the powerful generative AI tools like ChatGPT. These innovations offer both exciting possibilities and some concerns for students and educators alike, leading to a reshaping of policies and practices across K-12 and higher education settings.
The Flip Side of the AI Coin
As AI technologies become more integrated into our daily lives, they bring both opportunities and challenges in classrooms. Generative AI has demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality text and creative content based on simple prompts. This capability piques the interest of teachers looking to engage students better. However, it also raises eyebrows about the potential for students to submit AI-generated work as their own, raising serious concerns regarding plagiarism.
New Policies from Greenville Technical College
Over at Greenville Technical College (GTC), officials have stepped up to the plate with revised academic policies. They have the foresight to outline exactly what constitutes acceptable and unacceptable uses of AI in academic settings. In fact, GTC has even categorized AI-generated content as plagiarism within its online learning policy. This clear line is crucial in ensuring students are aware of what is expected from them in terms of originality.
