Public commenter urges school trustees to adopt personal familiarity with artificial intelligence
Summary
A resident, Kenneth McNamara, urged trustees to personally learn and use artificial intelligence tools and cautioned the board to understand AI's capabilities and limits.
Kenneth McNamara used the patrons' comment period to urge board members to learn and personally use artificial intelligence tools.
McNamara framed AI's recent development as a transformative change in computing and said trustees should not rely on search engines alone. "If you're not personally using artificial intelligence, you're behind," he said, and added a cautionary rule he described as two points: "use your brain, never trust it. Number 2, use artificial intelligence, never trust it." He said hands‑on familiarity will help trustees evaluate how AI could be applied in schools.
Ending: The comment was received during the public‑comment period; the board did not take action on AI policy at the meeting.
