Artificial intelligence; use of systems for student instruction.

This legislation establishes clear guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence in Arlington Public Schools. The bill mandates that school divisions create and implement specific policies regarding AI integration before these tools can be used for direct student instruction. These local policies must include provisions for data privacy, ensuring that student information remains secure while using AI platforms. Additionally, the legislation emphasizes transparency by requiring schools to inform parents and guardians about how these technologies are being deployed in the classroom. By setting these safety and oversight requirements, the bill aims to foster innovation in digital learning while protecting students from potential algorithmic biases and safeguarding their sensitive personal data as technology continues to evolve within the local educational environment.
