AISG GPT: AI-Powered Transformation in Teaching and Learning

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping education worldwide, and at the American International School of Guangzhou (AISG), we are leading the way in integrating AI into our teaching and learning environments. Over the past year, AISG has made significant strides with AISG-GPT, a dedicated AI tool embedded within Microsoft Teams, harnessing the power of Azure OpenAI and ChatGPT technologies. AISG is proud to be one of the first schools to have developed its own AI tool, fully integrated into existing platforms to enhance usability and accessibility.

Seamless AI Integration for Educators and Students

AISG-GPT is designed for accessibility and ease of use. By integrating directly into Microsoft Teams, our teachers and students can engage with AI without needing additional logins or third-party applications. Teachers benefit from access to both GPT-4o and GPT-3.5 models, allowing them to customize AI interactions to support their instructional strategies. Meanwhile, students in Grades 11 and 12 have structured access to GPT-3.5, ensuring responsible and appropriate use of AI tools for their educational development.

Ensuring AI Safety and Security

At AISG, we believe AI should be safe, secure, and used responsibly to support learning. AISG-GPT allows us to monitor and ensure compliance with ethical AI use, providing a controlled environment where interactions can be guided and refined as needed. By maintaining oversight of AI engagement, we can ensure that our students and educators have a reliable, secure, and effective tool that aligns with our educational values.

Enhanced Features for Smarter Learning

AISG-GPT represents a significant advancement from previous AI solutions. Its features include:

• Persistent Conversation History – Users can maintain ongoing dialogues with the AI, allowing for deeper engagement and continuity in learning.
• Attachment Recognition – The AI can process and understand uploaded documents, broadening its ability to assist with complex tasks.
• Text-to-Image Capabilities – Enhancing creative learning, AISG-GPT can generate images based on text descriptions, fostering visual learning experiences.
• Internet-Enabled Resource Retrieval – The AI provides up-to-date, relevant information, making research and fact-finding more efficient.
• Custom Prompt Libraries – Educators and students can create and utilize tailored prompts to streamline workflows and personalize interactions with the AI.
• Internal Document Chatbots – AISG has developed chatbots that allow staff and faculty to interact with internal documents, such as handbooks and policies, making it easier to access and retrieve important information efficiently.

Advancing Data Security and AI-Powered Insights

AISG is preparing to launch an AI tool designed to analyze institutional data, including student performance metrics. This initiative aims to enhance data-driven decision-making, equipping educators with valuable insights to support student learning and overall school improvement. By housing our own GPT on campus, AISG ensures that all student and institutional data remains private and secure within our infrastructure. This approach strengthens data protection while aligning with our commitment to responsible AI usage, safeguarding sensitive information, and optimizing AI’s potential to support education.

Future Innovations: Expanding AI Capabilities

AISG remains committed to continuous innovation in AI-powered education. Looking ahead to the 2025-2026 school year, we are preparing to integrate the new ChatGPT o1 model, which excels in complex scientific computations and mathematical reasoning. Additionally, we plan to introduce Deepseek R1, a cutting-edge model recognized for its deep reasoning and logical analysis capabilities. These additions will further enrich AISG’s AI ecosystem, providing our community with even more advanced learning tools.

As AISG continues to embrace AI, our goal remains clear: to enhance teaching and learning through responsible, innovative, and meaningful technology integration. With AISG-GPT, we are shaping the future of education—one intelligent interaction at a time.

At AISG, we place an emphasis on using technology for creation over consumption. By giving students agency in their learning and promoting a maker’s mindset, teachers ensure every student is an empowered creator. Click here to learn more about the innovation at AISG.
