Plan to have AI read names at W-L graduation draws criticism at School Board meeting
A plan to use artificial intelligence to read names at Washington-Liberty High School's graduation ceremony drew criticism at a School Board meeting. The Arlington County Medical Society donated $16,000 to support Wakefield graduates pursuing healthcare careers.
Washington-Liberty High School plans to use artificial intelligence to read names at its graduation ceremony on June 13, sparking criticism at a recent School Board meeting. June Prakash, president of the Arlington Education Association, argued that the plan makes the ceremony feel 'standardized, impersonal, rather than authentic and human.' The Arlington County Medical Society presented a $16,000 donation to the Wakefield High School Education Foundation to support graduates seeking healthcare careers. The funding will be used for scholarships, bringing the total support provided by the society since 2016 to over $75,000. Other Arlington high schools, including Wakefield and Yorktown, will hold their graduation ceremonies on June 13 and June 10, respectively.
