Restrict and/or moderate the use of Ai for academic purposes in schools.

 

We all know that the invention of generative AI can be used as a tool to help study or in everyday life, but it can also

be used as a crutch by students to “help” with their homework. Generative AI is a problem in the sense that it strips

some Developing Children of actual learning as many simply use AI chatbots like ChatGPT as a crutch to do their homework

for them rather than doing it themselves.

 

Generative AI needs to be restricted or at the very least moderated, as these students are the future generations, and

if the new generation can't figure out how to do their homework without asking a robot to do the work for them, what

hope do we have? A study taken in 2024 analyzes different groups of students, one group that has access to ChatGPT to

study on their practice quiz, and the other group without. The study found that the students that had access to ChatGPT

got a better score on the practice quiz by 48%, however they ultimately scored 17% worse on the actual test compared to

the students that did not have any access to ChatGPT or other AI chatbots. There was also a third group of students in

which they had access to ChatGPT, but a revised version of it that can't give direct answers and can only give hints or

help to truly help students study, these students scored 127% better on the practice quiz, however during the actual

test, they did no better than the students that had access to regular ChatGPT. This all shows that not only are students

using it to do their homework, they are also suffering from it as a study tool as even the modified ChatGPT could make

mistakes and tell you the wrong thing, in fact, ChatGPT gave incorrect answers or steps 50% of the time.

 

Generative AI - Chatbots often found on the internet where when given a question or prompt, will answer to the best of

its ability with an algorithm coded into and use certain pieces of evidence fed to it to best answer the question or

respond to a prompt.

ChatGPT - By far the most advanced and used AI Chatbot used by the majority of groups.

 

No funding needed

 

All public k-12 schools would be forced to regulate AI by their own methods, preferably by blocking and restricting AI

Chatbots like ChatGPT on their devices and internet. Schools could also enforce their own penalties and punishments for

use of AI chatbots, although this won't be mandatory.

If a school does not follow these regulations then they can be fined

1st offense - $100

Every other offense fine increases by 15% ex: 2nd offense - $115, 3rd offense - $132.25, etc.

 

The bill will take effect on the date of August 1st 2026, as some schools in the US start earlier in the year.
