WRITING BLOCK - Telegraph India
Very few people would volunteer to dig a ditch. Likewise, it is hard — almost impossible, many English teachers will admit — to turn a reluctant writer into an enthusiastic one. Like it or not, artificial intelligence is now firmly embedded in how students produce text. High school and college students are already using AI for schoolwork, according to recent surveys, often requesting help with writing assignments.
Los Angeles district bans most AI for students
The Los Angeles public school system will vastly restrict the use of artificial intelligence (AI) at all grade levels, district officials said on Sept 2 at a board of education meeting. The move came shortly after the nation’s largest school system, in New York City, announced it would ban most AI through 8th grade. Both developments seem to respond to an extraordinary movement, driven by parents, to push back against the incursion of technology and screens into childhood.

Students: Is A.I. Changing Your Life? Tell Us.
For young adults, artificial intelligence is everywhere: choosing the music you listen to, changing how you search for information and shaping how you learn and do homework. The rise of A.I. is also raising big questions about how much use is too much and how the technology is affecting mental health. We have heard from professors and teachers, but we also want to hear from high school and college students.
