Narcisse questions DOE on teachers' ability to identify AI-containing software

There's one question that I need to ask you.

Committee staff have heard that teachers cannot readily identify which one of the software programs they use contain AI components.

Has DOE provided schools with a list of which approved programs included in the AI features?

And if not, how are the teachers expected to comply with the moratorium?

Thank you.

We are working to make this a more easily accessible answer for our schools.

Mr.

Strickland, you can take it away.

Sure.

We have a list of hundreds of software products that have been used in our schools in the recent past.

Each one of them we're researching whether it says or we know that it has an AI component to it, and we'll be working with those vendors.

To see if that AI component can be turned off, especially if it's student-facing generative AI.

In the meantime, we're going to provide a list to the school saying, right now, it looks like this product is in this state, and therefore it's either good or it's not.

All right.

Thank you.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you so much, Councilor.

First, I have to mention I got good news.

VP Vaccaro is here.

I know.

Okay.

I know.

So you all stick around.

Stick around after the hearing.

Before I go to...
