Idaho Generative Artificial Intelligence in Public Education (S1227)

Idaho directs the State Department of Education to build a statewide framework for generative AI use in K-12 schools, emphasizing human oversight, accessibility, student privacy, and academic integrity. Each school district and public charter school must adopt its own generative-AI use policy aligned with that framework. AI education-technology vendors must disclose their use of machine learning, predictive analytics, and generative AI and provide data-protection assurances.
