@jbz This was inevitable. Here in Australia, I feel there's currently less pressure than in the US as most of the big AI tech companies are US based.

It also reinforces the importance of being part of your child's school's parents committee or any formal communications where parents' wishes and voices are heard.

I'm grateful that my daughter goes to a local public school where the principal is outspoken about how they do not want AI in the classroom, and so far, there is no mandate to say they must have it (yet).

But seriously, AI will absolutely erode teaching and learning, there's no doubt about it.

Maybe if Bernie Sanders was elected, he'd have taxed amazon/google/meta/microslop/openai through their teeth and they wouldn't be able to afford to expand their data centres... 🤔

@jbz I know this is for grade school, but I have a strict no ai policy. And I feel pretty smug about it.
