AI regulation in US schools

Overview

Efforts to regulate artificial intelligence in United States schools have progressed from corporate agreements to local district policies.

Microsoft entered a legally binding agreement with the American Federation of Teachers to establish privacy standards for AI in educational settings. This deal prohibits AI features designed to foster emotional bonds or excessive screen time and prevents the use of student or teacher data for training AI models or advertising. The agreement also mandates third-party audits and clear communication with families regarding data practices.

Following these broader standards, individual school districts have begun implementing specific classroom regulations. The Montclair Public School District has considered guidelines requiring parental consent and restricting AI use for students in pre-K through eighth grade. Meanwhile, the Quaker Valley School District approved a policy to ensure the “ethical, safe and educationally appropriate use of generative AI,” focusing on staff professional development before introducing the technology to older students.
