School district makes dramatic U-turn on AI, banning it across all grades weeks after Google Gemini rollout

New York City has also banned AI for younger students as concerns over classroom use grow
Another school district has banned AI from being used in the classroom by students across all grades. While this isn’t the first ban of its kind that we’ve seen, what’s interesting is that it was introduced just weeks after the district started piloting Google Gemini for older students.
Frederick County became the latest school district to ban AI use in the classroom this week, voting 6-1 to restrict the technology from pre-K through 12th grade.
Initially, the board considered only banning AI for younger students, but eventually extended the ban through high school.

Someone made a fake nude of a student, I bet.

How much money did the district waste on this that could have been better used?

Good AI should be banned all around. It ruins critical thinking which is the exact opposite thing we should be teaching the kids. It ruins it in adults too fwiw, but not relevant to this post.
