Requires boards of education to adopt policy on use of artificial intelligence; requires DOE to establish model policy.

This New Jersey bill mandates that all public school districts create and maintain policies governing the responsible use of artificial intelligence within their schools. To assist in this effort, the state Department of Education must develop a model policy that districts can reference, which will be updated as needed based on consultations with technology and education experts. Each district's policy must address equity issues, such as access for students with disabilities or limited technology, and include a process for community members to submit questions or concerns. Furthermore, these policies must be reviewed annually and posted prominently on each district's website to ensure transparency and ongoing oversight.
