As artificial intelligence (AI) and other technology begin to take over classrooms across the nation, a parental rights group is releasing model policies for states and school boards to ensure children’s privacy and education are being protected.
The policies created by Moms for Liberty (M4L) suggest states adopt legislation to protect parental rights and set clear limitations on the technology, and encourage parents to take the issue up with school boards. The goal, M4L CEO and co-founder Tina Descovich told the Daily Caller News Foundation, is “to make sure parents are holding all the keys to the toolbox for AI education.”
“We are here to send up the warning siren and the flags,” Descovich proclaimed. “There are parents already starting to come to us with children as young as 10 and 11 that are being exposed to AI companions on their school laptops during school hours that are sexualizing them, that are building emotional and sexual relationships with them. And over the next year or two, I think we’re going to be hearing a lot of stories about that hitting the news wave.”
