AI policy aimed at regulating the use of AI in classrooms, prioritizing student safety, and enhancing technological literacy.<\/li>\n<li>BPS Chief Technology Officer Lisa Irey emphasized that AI should align with community values rather than define them, highlighting the importance of protecting student privacy and fostering critical thinking about AI.<\/li>\n<li>The policy, a result of feedback from over 500 staff, students, families, and community partners, details guidelines for AI usage, establishes student safety protocols, sets academic integrity expectations, and mandates AI training for students and staff.<\/li>\n<li>Key restrictions outlined by the policy include a strict vetting process for AI tools, prohibiting student data use in unapproved AI resources, and banning AI use as the sole basis for academic evaluation or discipline.<\/li>\n<li>The policy includes a ban on creating AI-generated content that could harm or harass individuals, particularly banning deepfakes and inappropriate depictions without explicit consent.<\/li>\n<li>For families, the policy mandates access to district resources or training to help understand AI tools and their appropriate use.<\/li>\n<li>The School Committee discussed the policy&#8217;s effectiveness and equity considerations, with BPS noting the need for continuous refinement due to the rapid evolution of AI technology.<\/li>\n<li>The policy is set to be refined over the summer based on community feedback and will be reviewed by the School Committee for a vote in June.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boston Schools Prohibit Any Non-Sanctioned Uses of AI
