Agencies of at least 28 states and the Columbia district have published advice on the use of artificial intelligence in schools from kindergarten to 12th year.
More than half of the States have created school policies to define artificial intelligence, develop best practices for using AI systems and more, according to a report From AI for education, a defense group that offers AI literacy training to educators.
Despite the efforts of the Trump administration at loosen the federal and state rules of AI In the hope of stimulating innovation, teachers and students need a lot of state advice to navigate rapid technology, said Amanda Bickerstaff, CEO and co-founder of AI for education.
“What most people think about the adoption of AI in schools is academic integrity,” she said. “One of the biggest concerns we have seen – and one of the reasons why there has been a push towards AI advice, both in terms of district and state – is to provide security guidelines around responsible use and to create opportunities for people to know what is appropriate.”
Caroline du Nord, who became one of the first states last year to publish AI advice For schools, plan to study and define generative artificial intelligence for potential uses in class. Policy also includes resources for students and teachers interested in learning to successfully interact with AI models.
In addition to class advice, some states focus on ethical considerations for certain AI models. After the initial of Georgia frame In January, the state shared additional advice In June, describe the ethical principles that educators should consider before adopting technology.
This year, Maine,, Missouri,, Nevada And New Mexico has also published guidelines for AI in schools.
In the absence of regulations at the federal level, states fill a critical gap, said Maddy Dwyer, political analyst for the equity team in civic technology at the Center for Democracy & Technology, a non -profit organization working to advance civil rights in the digital age.
While most advice on state AI for schools focus on potential advantages, risks and the need for human surveillance, Dwyer wrote In a recent blog article, many frameworks are lacking on criticism, such as community engagement and deepfakes, or manipulated photos and videos.
“I think states can fill the gap which is currently a critical article to ensure that the use of AI serves children and their needs, and improve their educational experiences rather than harm them,” she said.
