The best feedback is when teachers tell you the work you are doing impacts them and their classroom. Read: "5 Lessons Learned from an AI Early Adopter" and learn how EDSAFE AI helps educators determine if an AI tool provides transparent information on its data usage and follows established guidelines. "Asking questions like "Is this AI tool being offered by a reputable company?" or "Was this designed and built specifically for education?" can be a helpful starting point. Beyond the usability, you'll also want to make sure the AI product or tool has publicly available information about how it uses data, or perhaps a set of guidelines and principles. For example, in our district, it is required that all ed tech be compliant with Ed Law 2d. Another great resource is the EDSAFE AI Alliance." - Tyler Brown, T.H.E.

The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology just passed two K-12 education-related bipartisan bills to ensure U.S. leadership in artificial intelligence (AI). Thank you, Chairman Frank Lucas and Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren. They now move on to be considered by the full House of Representatives. H.R. 9211, the LIFT AI Act, improves educational efforts related to artificial intelligence literacy at the K-12 level. National Science Foundation (NSF) grants can be provided to higher ed institutions and non-profits to support research activities to develop curriculum and professional development for AI literacy. This bill is led by Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) and Congressman Gabe Amo (RI-01). H.R. 9402, the NSF AI Education Act of 2024, supports education and professional development related to artificial intelligence. It offers funds to higher ed students who might teach about AI, fellowships for school teachers, and establishes centers of excellence to support school systems implementing AI in education. This bill is led by Congressman Vince Fong (CA-20) and Congresswoman Andrea Salinas (OR-06). While legislators continue to debate AI technical regulations, I'm glad to see common sense foundational policies that support AI literacy move forward. Congress wants to #TeachAI

Great to see this partnership between allies in this work from federal policy to district leadership

Check out the latest resource from the EDSAFE Policy labs network and Gwinnett County Public Schools now available in the EDSAFE AI Alliance policy and resource library. "Human-Centered Design Activity: Defining Human Learning" is designed to help participants explore and define what human learning is and can be, using the principles of emergent strategy such as adaptability, interdependence, resilience, and collective wisdom to shape the way they approach AI policy including interactive activities for professional development and learning for educators and administrators. Through the activity, participants will gain a deeper understanding of human-centered learning and design. They will collaboratively develop and refine ideas for enhancing human learning with AI, fostering collective wisdom, adaptability, and resilience. Calvin J. Watts, Ed.D.
