The New York Times' podcast - The Daily - has an interesting program on the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education - both students (one of whom is from UCLA) and instructors.

Since its introduction less than a year ago, ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence platform that can write essays, solve math problems and write computer code, has sparked an anguished debate in the world of education. Is it a useful research tool or an irresistible license to cheat?

Stella Tan, a producer on The Daily, speaks to teachers and students as they finish their first semester with ChatGPT about how it is changing the classroom.
