The policy proposed by the public schools of the county of Loudoun governing the use of generative artificial intelligence was issued from the committee last night and heads for the Complete School Board, with some changes based on the comments of the parents.
The policy, which will be examined each year to follow the evolution of the landscape, the covers have accepted uses and protections for students and teachers. Policy stipulates that only AI programs approved by the division would be authorized to use. Students that using AI would require expressed approval of instructors. Policy should be integrated into the academic integrity section of the student rights and responsibilities of students.
He also has two support regulations. The first covers the way teachers and students will use AI on homework, how they will cite AI documents and how they will disclose the use of AI. The second policy governs privacy protections when using AI.
The regulations came directly from the resources of the teachers of the AI generating guide created by the school division.
The main change in the policy project came from the comments of the Advisory Committee on Special Education. This has added a specific ban on use solely from a generative AI to create course plans, individual education programs, investment decisions and a classification.
According to the assistant superintendent for the teaching and learning of Neil Slevin, the objective is to ensure that the materials generated by AI are at least read by a human.
Teacher Andrea Weiskopf supported the changes and warned that students would try to get around him. The concerns said that Slevin was raised by many parents.
“It is obvious that no one here has ever been gas by a student claiming that they did not use AI,” she said. “Students need specific advice at the time of using it. Politics, I believe, simply says that they could use it for learning and creativity, but they must tell them to do so only under the supervision of teachers. ”
Weiskopf and the parents' comments have raised concerns concerning the absence of a clear direction of transparency at the end of the student on the use of AI in their work.
In response to this, the president of the Lauren Shernoff (Leesburg) committee won support for an amendment that forces students to say how and why they used AI in their mission.
The sending of the complete consulting policy adopted 2-0-1, with Sumera Rashid (Little River) absent for the vote.
