The education sector began September with two distinct movements regarding the use of artificial intelligence. On the 1st, Brazil's National Education Council (CNE) released the "Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Brazilian Education", a document that prohibits unsupervised use of AI in elementary education.
The following day, September 2nd, the New York City Department of Education — responsible for the largest public school system in the United States — announced a one-year moratorium on AI use by elementary school students.
While Brazil chose to regulate the use of technology with specific rules, the United States opted for a temporary pause approach, completely suspending use for a determined period.
The article addresses the underlying question: what would be the best approach to dealing with artificial intelligence in education — completely pausing its use or establishing rules and guidelines for its appropriate use in schools.
