Understanding AI in the Classroom Act

This bill would require the Director of the National Science Foundation to hold workshops within 18 months to find gaps in data and research about how using artificial intelligence in classrooms may affect or harm children. The workshops would look at areas such as attention span, learning independence, development, over-reliance on AI, and differences in effects based on age, vulnerabilities, or traits of the AI. The Director could invite researchers, educators, school leaders, parent groups, and others to take part. Within 6 months after the workshops, the Director would have to send a report on the gaps found to House and Senate committees and publish it.
