US schools experiment with AI with little evidence or policy to guide them
Several US reports say schools' AI experiments are running ahead of research evidence and regulation. A national district-level report also found gaps in AI guidance, practice and support for educators.
Who is affected and how
- school leader
- Launch AI adoption with measurable goals and evaluation, because little external evidence is available.
- teacher
- Teachers need training and rules, because in many places experiments run without institutional guidance.
- education policymaker
- With research evidence and regulation lacking, tracking pilots is important.
