Idaho middle school students help create AI policy

BYU-Idaho · · International · AI Governance

Middle school students in Idaho were involved in developing an AI policy, reportedly in connection with BYU-Idaho. Details about the scope and content of the policy were not provided.

Why this matters: Getting students into the room when AI rules are written is not a bad idea. They are the ones who will live inside these systems longest. The catch is that student involvement can be genuine or it can be a photo opportunity that puts a friendly face on decisions already made by adults. Worth watching what the policy actually says, who has final authority over it, and whether students had real input or just symbolic presence.
