South Bay schools shape AI policies to catch up to tech-savvy students
Briefly

High schools are increasingly recognizing artificial intelligence as a tool for enhancing learning rather than merely a source of cheating. Administrators are creating policies to encourage responsible AI use and are embedding guidelines in student handbooks. Saratoga High School emphasizes integrating AI into education rather than vilifying it. Del Mar High School established a technology advisory committee to assist teachers with AI applications. Officials acknowledge the rapid advancement of AI necessitates adapting to ensure students are not disadvantaged in their learning process.
"We are working on strategies to find ways to include and embrace AI in the learning process and not fully vilify it," Saratoga High School Principal Greg Louie said, adding that policies in the Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District are not drastically changing and academic integrity is being taken very seriously.
Nguyen agrees that AI is a rapidly advancing change that schools need to catch up on for student success. "We can't just ignore it, it's one of those situations where we can either go with it or be left behind, and I don't ever want any of our students to be at a disadvantage," she said.
