Not All AI Is Created Equal:
The Framework District Leaders Need to Know for Youth AI Safety
What to expect
AI is already in your students' pockets, and most of it wasn't designed with them in mind. Over 70% of teens have used AI chatbots, 5.4 million U.S. students turn to general-purpose AI for emotional advice, and 37% of youth AI companionship interactions involve violent exchanges.
Districts without a clear stance are already behind. This session gives you the tools to catch up.
Here's what you'll walk away with:
- AI literacy that protects students: how to clearly distinguish between general-purpose AI (ChatGPT, Gemini), AI companion bots (Character.AI, Replika), and clinically-designed tools and why that distinction matters for district procurement decisions.
- A step-by-step process to build your district’s AI policy: how to apply the S.U.R.E. Framework criteria as a practical checklist when creating your own district’s AI policy and evaluating any AI tool a vendor, teacher, or student brings to your attention.
- Governance, not fear: how districts can get ahead of the AI-in-school conversation with a clear, evidence-based stance that is neither alarmist nor naïve.
