A mock-senate of teens drafted their own AI legislation. Gathering at the replica-Senate chamber in Boston, 98 high schoolers from all 50 states spent a weekend drafting a comprehensive AI-use bill for students, educators, and parents. The real U.S. government has not yet passed a sweeping standard of rules for education, which motivated these teens to work on it themselves for their future since they know firsthand how it impacts their classrooms. Some of the proposed rules include mandatory AI literacy lessons as soon as tech enters the classroom, strict limits on how students can use it for work (never for writing, but for brainstorming and editing), and a requirement for teachers to post clear rules at the beginning of the semester. They also discussed how to address potential plagiarism, which they are concerned students will misuse AI for, including multiple reviews by teachers or staff, not just AI detection services. (NPR)
