In early July, the National Education Association (NEA) Representative Assembly (RA) delegates approved the teacher union’s first policy statement on the use of AI in education. The statement compares equitable AI access to equitable internet access but warns against the technology’s dangers. The statement also details several guiding principles for effective AI use in education.
Educators interviewed for this story generally applauded the six-page policy statement as a positive development for AI in education. However, they also noted there are aspects of it that could be expanded.
