Students from all 50 states met in Boston, Massachusetts, for three days in July. Their mission: to develop and vote on guidelines for the use of artificial intelligence, or AI, in schools. It was part of America’s Youth AI Festival. The results of their work will be shared with more than 10,000 school leaders. Jeff Riley is a director of Day of AI, one of the host groups. This work is “a starting point for what we hope is a discussion all across the country,” he said.
