Florida education leaders are set to review a proposed rule that would require colleges in the Florida College System to adopt policies governing the use of artificial intelligence tools.
The State Board of Education is scheduled to discuss the rule Wednesday, which would create statewide standards for how AI may be used by students, staff, and guests at Florida colleges.
Under the proposed rule, each Florida College System institution’s Board of Trustees would be required to adopt policies addressing AI use. The policies would have to comply with applicable state and federal laws.
According to the proposed rule, students would be prohibited from using AI to complete graded assignments unless an instructor explicitly allows it. It also requires parents of enrolled minors to be notified if their child will directly use an AI instructional tool as part of a course.
Each college would also be required to ensure its AI policies are applied and made available to students, employees, and others using the technology.
Some local colleges already use AI in limited ways, such as Lake-Sumter State College and Seminole State College.
The State Board of Education is expected to also discuss an amendment to its Internet Safety Policy that includes the use of AI.
