What happened
Ban or no ban, students are going to use AI. Let’s make sure they have the skills to navigate it, says Common Sense Media’s chief program officer.
Why it matters
School leaders, teachers, and policymakers weighing AI restrictions may find the case for skills-building first a useful counterpoint to bans. Students and parents would be directly affected by whichever approach schools adopt. The source provides no specifics, so it is worth watching whether districts respond with skills programs, restrictions, or both.
