LAUSD blocks student generative AI while it writes rules

What the source reports

GovTech reports that LAUSD blocked students from generative AI on district devices. The rule covers standalone services and AI features in Google Workspace. District limits can also follow students onto personal devices when they use district accounts. To get outside those controls, a student generally needs both a personal device and a non-district account. Teachers kept access for their work. They receive training on planning and privacy. It also covers checking AI material and keeping teachers responsible for decisions. Board members said the change was not widely shared or approved by the board. One raised a possible gap between students who can use generative AI at home and those who depend on district devices. The article reports that concern, not a measured outcome. The committee plans to bring student rules to the board at the end of the school year.
