‘This is Pandora’s box’: New AI policy introduced by Anne Arundel school board

Capital Gazette · · International · AI Governance

Anne Arundel County's school board has introduced a new policy governing the use of artificial intelligence, a move that has prompted concern from at least some involved, with one participant describing it as opening a Pandora's box.

Why this matters: Schools are where AI policy gets personal fast. Kids are in the room. Their work, their data, and how they learn are all in play. A district policy decides which tools teachers can use, what student data those tools can touch, and who is accountable if something goes wrong. Most parents will not read the policy. That makes it matter more, not less, that the people writing it get the boundaries right from the start.
