EdSurge
EDITOR BRIEF
The article argues that school AI bans may buy time but cannot stop students from using AI on personal devices. In a study conducted before bans in Los Angeles and New York City, 59% of teens who said a tool was banned at school had accessed it anyway on a personal device.
INSIGHTS
Learning to use AI safely matters even when access is restricted. A practical next step is to explore how to check AI-generated answers and use AI responsibly for schoolwork.
