AI can ‘transform education,’ advocate says as lawmakers raise concerns
Lawmakers are raising concerns about AI use in schools, particularly regarding student safety, as advocates argue it can 'transform education.' Alpha Schools, a network with nearly two dozen campuses, uses AI to help students complete core subjects in about two hours daily.
Artificial intelligence is changing how American students learn. Everest Nevraumont, a fifth grader at GT Anywhere, a branch of Alpha Schools, uses AI tools to complete core academic subjects in about two hours daily. The school model allows students more time for hands-on learning and real-world skills. Alpha Schools has grown from 200 to over 1,000 students in two years and plans to open more than 35 locations by fall 2026. Lawmakers are raising concerns about AI system safety in schools, particularly regarding chatbot technologies. Alpha Schools does not use chatbots and educators support reasonable guardrails around safety and transparency.
