Addressing artificial intelligence, student discipline, and surveillance in public schools.
This bill aims to regulate the use of artificial intelligence, automated decision systems, and surveillance technologies in Washington's public K-12 schools. It prohibits using these technologies as the sole basis for student discipline decisions, bans predictive "risk scores" for students, and restricts the use of biometric data for inferring sensitive personal characteristics. The bill also directs the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to update guidance and the School Directors' Association to create a model policy for school districts.
