School districts across the country are implementing new policies to limit student access to artificial intelligence tools as the academic year kicks off, raising concerns about academic integrity and proper learning techniques. Some educators are banning AI-powered writing assistants like ChatGPT entirely, while others are restricting their use to supervised settings or specific grade levels. The measures reflect growing unease among teachers about how AI could undermine critical thinking and original work in classrooms. With students already familiar with AI from personal devices, schools are scrambling to balance innovation with traditional educational standards.
