SPRINGFIELD<\/strong> \u2014 State Senator Robert Martwick\u2019s legislation that would require students be graded by teachers and not artificial intelligence has passed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDecisions about grading and student assessment require oversight and fairness from trained professionals, not large language models prone to hallucination and implicit bias,\u201d said Martwick (D-Chicago). \u201cWe are in a new world where AI is trying to creep into every aspect of our lives. It is vital to place guardrails for our children to ensure they are protected in educational settings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 416 would prohibit teachers from using artificial intelligence to grade a student\u2019s work. It also requires that any other use of AI in a classroom setting be approved by the school board.<\/p>\n

A number of schools have implemented policies against students using artificial intelligence in their schoolwork for many reasons, including cheating and plagiarism. Ultimately, students are meant to demonstrate their understanding of a topic. For that same reason, teachers are meant to judge whether a student has understood a topic or not when grading.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe process of grading student\u2019s work deserves the thoughtful human judgement, context and care that only educators can provide,\u201d said Martwick. \u201cTeachers shape young minds and guide our children to be the leaders of tomorrow, which can only be done with by a compassionate human, not artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Senate Bill 416 \u2013 which is part of the Senate\u2019s AI protection package \u2013 passed the Senate Thursday.<\/p>\n
