Session description
GPT-3 can write essays for our students, Stable Diffusion can generate images for classes and presentations, and AI video is right around the corner. What do teachers and schools do when students can easily get AI assistance on everything we assign?
Purpose & objective
We need to figure out what to do when students use AI to complete our assignments. There are some tools we can use to figure out whether or not AI was used when completing assignments. And we need to work on our style of creating summative assessments so that they can't be completed by AI systems.

Outline
I would give an introduction to GPT-3 and Stable Diffusion. Then show examples of how these AIs can complete standard school assignments. Then it would be on to questions for the panel about the impacts of this technology.
