We need a pause on AI in schools

New stories come out each week of the negative impacts of AI on society. From driving people to psychosis, to students becoming reliant on tools like ChatGPT to write essays for them.

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are being put in classrooms across BC.

We demand that the Ministry of Education and Child Care enact a two-year pause (moratorium) on AI usage in classrooms in British Columbia.

This means that for two years, in schools in BC:

  1. Students will not use generative AI in classrooms.
  2. Students will not use generative AI for homework.

If this is something that you agree with, please take the time to sign the petition on Action Network.
