Education AI Governance Moves from Debate to Operational Rules

Florida approved school AI guidelines covering parental consent, non-AI alternatives, emotional simulation and profiling restrictions, teacher training, unsupervised-use limits, rapid disablement, and data protection. Higher-education ethics guidance reinforces familiar principles but adds limited evidence, while classroom research suggests outcomes depend heavily on teacher guidance, monitoring, student behavior, and multilingual quality. Implementation capacity and equivalent alternatives remain the key tests.
