A Connecticut state senator is calling for a closer look at how artificial intelligence is used in schools, warning that students may be relying on AI instead of developing their own research and critical-thinking skills.
State Sen. Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox, who also teaches at the college level, says educators should create standards that encourage creativity and independent thinking beyond what AI can produce.
While a new Connecticut law protects children from harmful AI chatbots, it does not ban or limit the use of artificial intelligence in classrooms.
