New York Times reporter Dana Goldstein explores how the educational sector has rethought writing instruction since the advent of AI tools. Drawing on the comments of 400 instructors from US high schools and colleges, Goldstein shares what educators had to say about the importance of ensuring students develop their fundamental skills in reading, analysis, writing, and presentations without using generative AI as a shortcut. Educators also discussed how they are using more in-class writing assignments and presentations to help students develop these skills, while others shared that they were providing dedicated lessons on how to use generative AI tools ethically and critically.
