Board members warn of privacy and accuracy risks as AI use grows in classrooms
Summary
Presenters and board members warned about AI's tendency to surface incorrect information and the privacy risks of tools that collect user inputs; principals' meetings flagged cases where AI-generated legal citations were nonexistent and could have professional consequences.
A presenter said principals had raised concrete concerns about AI accuracy and privacy, including examples of AI-generated legal citations that did not exist. "There have been, like, lawyers who have used it to write things, and it cites cases that are nonexistent," the presenter said, urging verification of AI outputs before putting them into official documents.
Committee members and other staff also warned that many AI vendors collect inputs and may use submitted material as training data. One committee member cautioned that Microsoft Copilot and other integrated tools can submit user content as training data unless users explicitly opt out, and recommended staff carefully vet privacy settings and vendor practices before classroom deployment.
