Schools would get permission to teach students about AI and offer mental health counseling for AI chatbot use.
This bill would let elementary and secondary schools teach students about the risks and responsible use of artificial intelligence. It would also allow schools to offer counseling for mental health issues that come from using AI chatbots. Schools could use their current funding to help students understand AI and get support if needed.
Today, federal education law does not specifically allow schools to use funds for teaching about artificial intelligence or for providing mental health counseling related to AI chatbot use. This bill would change that by explicitly letting schools use their existing money to teach students about AI technologies and to offer mental health support for issues arising from AI chatbot use.
