Trainer warns of AI 'hallucinations,' offers paid prompt-training to Mineral Point staff
Summary
A presenter at the Mineral Point strategic planning meeting cautioned that some AI programs can 'hallucinate' and offered paid prompt-training sessions for staff groups of about 10–15 people.
During the Sept. 29 meeting, Ellen Tyler addressed the board about responsible AI use, stressing personal accountability and potential social impacts as districts adopt AI tools. Tyler warned that some systems can produce incorrect or misleading outputs — often described as "hallucinations" — and urged the board to include awareness of such limits when shaping guidance.
"personal accountability" was a phrase Tyler used when describing how staff should approach AI tools. She also offered paid training sessions in AI prompts and use, typically geared to small groups: she said training groups are "typically in the 10 - 15 staff members." The cost of those sessions was discussed as being "at a cost" but no dollar figure was provided in the meeting.
The board took the training offer and the caution about hallucinations into account as it agreed to pursue a survey to better understand current AI use among staff and students. No procurement or contract decisions were made during the meeting.
