Talbot Board of Education sees potential AI policy for students

The Star Democrat · · International · AI Governance

They also touch data: what information AI tools collect from minors, who holds it, and whether parents have any say. Most school districts are making these calls quietly, without much public input. What a board approves in a small county can become the template for how a generation of kids is taught to relate to these tools.

The gathered technologists were drawn to the idea of building a small nation-state dedicated to the endeavor, Reich recalls in “System Error: Where Big Tech Went Wrong and How We Can Reboot it”.
