Ask an adult what they think about kids and AI, and expect to hear a strong opinion. Parents, politicians, experts--everyone has a take on whether young people should use AI, how to moderate their exposure, and how it's changing the ways they think and communicate. Many of these opinions revolve around education. Adults fret that kids will turn ChatGPT into a research bot, paper writer, or math problem solver. Teachers, specifically, struggle to know how to deal with policing student use, and how to include it in their own pedagogy.

This paper introduces the shared task of summarizing documents in several creative domains, namely literary texts, movie scripts, and television scripts. Summarizing these creative documents requires making complex literary interpretations, as well as understanding non-trivial temporal dependencies in texts containing varied styles of plot development and narrative structure. This poses unique challenges and is yet underexplored for text summarization systems. In this shared task, we introduce four sub-tasks and their corresponding datasets, focusing on summarizing books, movie scripts, primetime television scripts, and daytime soap opera scripts. We detail the process of curating these datasets for the task, as well as the metrics used for the evaluation of the submissions. As part of the CREATIVESUMM workshop at COLING 2022, the shared task attracted 18 submissions in total. We discuss the submissions and the baselines for each sub-task in this paper, along with directions for facilitating future work in the field.

Nothing seemed suspect when Jill Watson, a teaching assistant at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), emailed students about assignments and answered questions during Professor Ashok Goel's online knowledge-based artificial intelligence course. In fact, it wasn't until the end of the semester that the students realized they hadn't been emailing a human at all -- they'd been corresponding with a chatbot. Goel had built an artificially intelligent teaching assistant that could answer routine questions so that he and the human teaching assistants could focus on responding to more complex issues, Business Insider reports. And he isn't the only person using artificial intelligence to improve education. The teams at companies including Thinkster Math, Brainly, Content Technologies Inc., and Gradescope are creating artificial intelligence tools to aid students and educators.

AI-enabled solutions and tools are empowering teachers and students with a vast variety of opportunities to learn and teach in different formats. The technology helps institutions bring about significant changes in their processes and design a knowledge-based curriculum. AI in any form provides an interesting way to help students learn in a friendly atmosphere and teachers to teach with optimized study materials. According to EdTech Review, "The way students learn and teachers teach today is completely different from what it was a few years ago. AI-enabled technology has also allowed the automation of administrative tasks, allowing institutions to minimize the time required to complete tedious tasks and day-to-day processes."

Whether it's business, IT companies, financial services or even education, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated into various industries. AI's digital, dynamic nature also offers opportunities for student engagement that cannot be found in often outdated documents or in the fixed environment. In a synergistic fashion, AI has the potential to propel and accelerate the discovery of new learning frontiers and the creation of innovative technologies. Though yet to become a standard cult in organizations and schools, Artificial Intelligence in learning or training has been a "big thing" since AI's uptick in the 1940s (when the first seeds of AI were sown with programmable computers). In many ways, the 2 seem made for each other.

The world of academia is becoming more personalized and convenient for students thanks to recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). The technology has numerous applications that are changing the way we learn, making education more accessible to students with computers or smart devices if they're unable to make it to class. Students aren't the only ones who benefit as AI is also helping to automate and speed up administrative tasks, helping organizations reduce the time spent on tedious tasks and increasing the amount of time spent on each individual student. A recent study from eSchool News discovered that the use of AI in the education industry will grow by 47.5% through 2021 as we move towards a more connected world. The technology's impact will exist anywhere from Kindergarten through higher education, offering the opportunity to create adaptive learning features with personalized tools to improve the student experience.

During which season of the year would a rabbit's fur be thickest? A computer program called Aristo can tell you because it read about bears growing thicker pelts during winter in a fourth-grade study guide, and it knows rabbits are mammals, too. Aristo is being developed by researchers at the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Seattle, who want to give machines a measure of common sense about the world. The institute's CEO, Oren Etzioni, says the best way to benchmark the development of their digital offspring is to use tests designed for schoolchildren. He's trying to convince other AI researchers to adopt standardized school tests as a way to measure progress in the field.
