RICHMOND, Va. — Richmond Public Schools committee members took a step Tuesday night to ensure artificial intelligence is used responsibly in classrooms.

The committee discussed the creation of an AI task force to navigate the usage of this technology.

The conversation touched on everything from student plagiarism and assignment integrity to teacher training and future policy reviews.

Dr. Shonda Harris-Mohammed, who chairs the policy committee, says the goal is to empower both students and teachers.

"I do not want our students to have a higher level of knowledge than the teacher in the classroom. I want it to be a partnership and to learn and grow together about things that are new," she explained.

The task force will focus on setting clear guidelines for how AI tools can be used effectively inside and outside the classroom. Once finalized, the committee will present its recommendations to the school board.
