Columbia Board of Education passes updated AI policy
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Columbia Board of Education unanimously passed its new policy on artificial intelligence.
The policy focuses on “generative AI,” which creates text, images, videos and other media. The new policy set forth by the Missouri School Boards’ Association says that the district must have an AI coordinator, who will monitor advancements, risks and practices of generative AI, according to meeting documents.
Before, the district required one person to be “up to speed” on AI developments, the documents say.
The coordinator will also create AI use plans that are designed to give guidance and criteria for acceptable AI tool selection and use in the district.
