When My Daughter Said She Wasn’t Allowed to Use AI for School
At the start of the last school year, my middle schooler came home and announced, “We’re not allowed to use AI.” The school hadn’t explicitly banned it; she had simply interpreted “don’t cheat” as “don’t use.”
It struck me how easily a well-intentioned message can get muddled. It’s often simpler to say don’t than to explain how, which can make it harder for kids to understand and explore a world where AI is already everywhere.
