Artificial Intelligence Literacy in Education Act of 2025

This bill requires District of Columbia public high schools (grades 9-12) to adopt AI literacy policies by the start of the 2026-27 school year. The policies must cover responsible AI use in classrooms, teach students to critically evaluate AI tools for transparency and equity, and address both educational opportunities and risks like misinformation. The DC Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) must also develop guidance and professional development resources for educators on implementing these policies. The law directly affects students, teachers, and school administrators in DC public schools by integrating AI literacy into educational practices.
