'We have a voice': Minnesota students help craft national AI policy
Students in Minnesota have been involved in shaping national AI policy, contributing their perspectives to conversations that typically exclude young people. The effort represents an unusual push to include student voices in governance decisions about artificial intelligence.
Why this matters: Young people will live with AI policy longer than anyone writing it today. That is a basic fact that most policy processes ignore. When students get a seat at the table, the conversation tends to include things like school surveillance, algorithmic grading, and how AI affects people who have no power to push back. Whether their input actually changes anything is the real test. Inclusion in a process is not the same as influence over an outcome.
