Why ban AI in schools?
How does AI harm children? What effects are seen in university students?
Companies like SchoolAI are aggressively targeting schools across North America
to get their ChatGPT-style tools into classrooms.
AI hype and millions of dollars of marketing are being used to hide
the extremely negative effects on children's development.
We demand the following from our schools:
ChatGPT-like "AI" tools prevent learning and isolate children. They should not be used in classrooms or allowed for homework.
Image generation devalues children's own creativity and work.
Teachers are being forced to use AI tools by administrators, or to keep up with workload.
AI companies are beta-testing their products on our children. The effect of new technologies must be studied before being used in classrooms.

AI is talked about as if it is magic, but understanding how it works is possible.
Supporters of AI and schools often respond with the same talking points when asked about AI use in schools.
We can stop AI tech companies from taking over our schools and protect our kids.
