AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change an existing federal education grant program so schools can use the money to teach elementary and secondary students about the dangers, limitations, and responsible use of artificial intelligence, including AI chatbots. It defines an "artificial intelligence chatbot" as a consumer AI system that holds back-and-forth, natural-language conversations with users. It would also allow grant funds to pay for counseling for mental health issues that arise from using AI chatbots. The bill adds these uses to the lists of allowed activities for states and local school districts under the program.
