Florida Department of Education Proposes Rule Requiring AI Policies at Public Colleges

The Florida Department of Education is proposing a new rule that would mandate all public colleges in the state to adopt policies addressing artificial intelligence, covering academic integrity, course assignments, and grading. The rule also directs K-12 school districts to incorporate AI rules into internet safety guidelines and notify parents about approved AI instructional tools, with an opt-out option. AI tools for PreK-5 would require additional review and cannot be used for social or emotional needs.
