Microsoft sets limits on AI in US schools amid growing criticism

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 09:34

Microsoft announced the establishment of limits on artificial intelligence in United States schools, a decision that comes amid growing criticism regarding the use of this technology in the education sector.

OpenAI and Anthropic indicated they are negotiating security and privacy agreements with the American teachers' union, seeking to establish guarantees for the responsible use of AI in classrooms.

Google, which is the main provider of educational technology in US schools, did not clarify whether it intends to offer similar guarantees to those being discussed by the other tech giants.

This situation arises at a time when pressure on technology companies to regulate the use of artificial intelligence in school environments has been increasing significantly.

Why this matters

This news is relevant because it directly affects the security and privacy of millions of American students in schools, defining how technology companies can operate in the education sector. Google's position, the largest provider of educational technology in the US, remains uncertain, which raises concerns about the lack of uniform standards in the industry.
