As generative AI tools become more prevalent, educators and policymakers are increasingly worried that these technologies could lead to less human interaction in schools and potentially replace teachers. While no one has proposed replacing professors with AI bots, a bill in California aims to ensure that community college courses are taught by qualified humans, not AI. Similar measures are being considered in Minnesota and among K-12 teachers.
