Third Graders at Harlem School Draft AI Policies for Classroom Use
Students at DREAM Charter School in East Harlem are creating their own guidelines for using AI in the classroom. The initiative, designed by Lego Education, aims to teach AI literacy and ethical use. Students expressed concerns about AI's potential to replace human reasoning and the risk of cheating. The school emphasizes that AI should support, not replace, student learning. The New York City Education Department has released preliminary guidelines for AI use in schools, categorizing applications into green, yellow, and red light uses based on their appropriateness.
