AI can save you real time on preparation: drafting a rubric, generating practice questions, rephrasing an explanation for a different level, outlining a lesson, or producing example problems. Used as a first-draft engine, it removes the blank page without removing your judgment.

The rule is that you remain the editor of record. Verify every fact, fix what is wrong or biased, and adapt the draft to your students and outcomes before it reaches them. The tool produces a starting point; you are responsible for what you teach. Treated that way, AI is a capable assistant rather than a source of unchecked content.
