We Demand an AI Moratorium in LAUSD Schools

There is a growing scientific consensus that AI use undermines the learning process, as well as the human relationship between teachers and students. It promotes cheating, and can diminish students' cognition, critical thinking, memory, motivation, persistence, and creativity—perhaps irreversibly. Its use can cause depression, psychosis, and even lead to suicide. This is a public health crisis. Nearly every day, a new study is published with dire warnings for the long-term effects of AI use on children's brains. And this is to say nothing of the long list of moral and ethical concerns inherent to commercial AI products. Until the LAUSD school board's Ad Hoc Committee on AI has had time to assess the existing research and weigh the risks against the potential benefits, there can be no justification for continuing to allow the district's students to be used as guinea pigs for this untested technology. Join the movement at schoolsbeyondscreens.com. [Español] Existe un creciente consenso científico de que el uso de la IA socava el proceso de aprendizaje, así como la relación humana entre profesores y alumnos. Promueve las trampas y puede disminuir la cognición, el pensamiento crítico, la memoria, la motivación, la perseverancia y la creatividad de los estudiantes, quizás de forma irreversible. Su uso puede provocar depresión, psicosis e incluso suicidio. Se trata de una crisis de salud pública. Casi a diario se publica un nuevo estudio con alarmantes advertencias sobre los efectos a largo plazo del uso de la IA en el cerebro de los niños. Y esto sin mencionar la larga lista de preocupaciones morales y éticas inherentes a los productos comerciales de IA. Hasta que el Comité Ad Hoc sobre IA de la junta escolar del LAUSD haya tenido tiempo de evaluar la investigación existente y sopesar los riesgos frente a los beneficios potenciales, no existe justificación alguna para seguir permitiendo que los estudiantes del distrito sean utilizados como conejillos de indias para esta tecnología que no está probada.
