美国参议院目前正在探讨学生和教师该如何在课堂上使用人工智能。
这已是大势所趋。
“问题不在于人工智能是否会影响教育，真正的问题在于我们能否深思熟虑、负责任地引导其应用，”特拉华州教育部长辛迪·马滕在近期的参议院听证会上说道。
议员们不仅关注人工智能教给学生什么，更关注其教学方式。
“我们对这项技术的长期认知影响有多少了解？”参议院议员汤米·塔伯维尔（阿拉巴马州共和党）在听证会上问道。

“我们尚无关于其对社交或认知发展长期影响的因果研究，”InnovateEDU及EDSAFE AI联盟首席执行官艾琳·莫特回应道，该组织致力于课堂技术创新。
大约12年前，在课堂上向学生普及电子屏幕、iPad和Chromebook笔记本电脑曾风靡一时。但据美国国家教育进展评估（NEAP，俗称“国家成绩单”）的数据，自那次技术热潮以来，高中高年级学生数学和阅读达到年级水平的比例较2009年下降了4个百分点。
“学生并未更好地掌握学习内容，他们的社交和情感健康也受到了严重影响。我们在推进人工智能教学及使用人工智能教学时，必须确保不会过度依赖技术，批判性思维技能仍然至关重要，”瓦尔多斯塔州立大学的大卫·斯莱克维斯在今年早些时候的众议院听证会上说道。
这也是议员们对人工智能能否提升课堂表现持怀疑态度的原因。
“孩子们已经将批判性思考、交友甚至寻求道德建议都外包给了人工智能，”康涅狄格州民主党参议员克里斯·墨菲说道。

此外还存在隐私担忧。人工智能可以收集每个学生的学习情况和知识储备。
人工智能可以获取学生学过哪些课程、掌握不同概念的速度等信息。人工智能或数据经纪商可能会跟踪这些信息数十年，即便学生升入大学乃至进入职场。
“这些工具获取的学生信息越来越多，甚至可能连我们都没意识到，”马滕警告道。
教师们已经在借助人工智能制定课程计划和批改作业。小学教师当然可以利用人工智能批改简单的乘法题和拼写作业。但如果教师或教授使用人工智能评分标准来批改创意写作、学期论文这类主观性作业，可能会引发严重问题。
“一旦开始使用人工智能，人们往往会轻信其输出的所有内容，这会造成严重隐患，”参议院听证会上的QuantHub（一家教育人工智能素养公司）首席执行官约书亚·琼斯说道。
部分议员怀疑人工智能能否胜任所有教学任务，教育的某些方面难以被复制。
“儿童与教师之间的基础关系是人工智能无法复刻的，也无法被取代，”弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩说道。

教育工作者想知道人工智能将如何改变他们的角色，以及未来“教师”或“教授”的概念是否与如今人们的认知一致。
“对于那些认为教学就该如此的教师来说，这种转变可能相当可怕。但我们知道，这并非高效的教学或学习方式。因此，这需要整个教育生态系统做出真正的变革，”曾撰写过人工智能相关文章的教育工作者艾米丽·谢金说道。
今年春季，全美多地毕业典礼上，即将毕业的大学生对多位科技公司首席执行官发出了阵阵嘘声。原因何在？这些学生或许拿到了毕业证，但他们怀疑仅凭文凭能否在人工智能时代找到待遇优厚的工作。
OpenAI首席执行官萨姆·奥尔特曼近期在国会大厦与两党多名议员会面，讨论了他们对人工智能的期望与担忧。
“我理解大学生对未来充满焦虑，”奥尔特曼说道，“我认为未来会有大量工作岗位。我认为人工智能对就业的影响比我们行业内许多人预期的要小，但这并不意味着未来也会一直如此。”
此外，如果学生因人工智能找不到工作，他们可能会质疑教育的价值。
“（高中高年级学生）表示他们找不到工作，称30%至40%的人处于失业状态，并将此归咎于人工智能，”密苏里州共和党议员乔希·霍利说道，“我们必须对人工智能做出一些选择，确保它确实对美国劳动力市场有益。我认为很多大学毕业生并不这么认为。”
新组织警告：对儿童和劳动者的人工智能风险上升速度快于监管

霍利认为国会应该就人工智能采取行动，但方式可能与外界预期不同。
“我们现在就应该通过立法，要求这些科技公司披露其创造了多少就业岗位，或是摧毁了多少就业岗位，”霍利说道。
加州共和党众议员杰伊·奥伯诺尔特是国会中人工智能议题的主要发声者之一。他近期协助起草了两党联合的人工智能监管立法框架。奥伯诺尔特表示，他理解大学生的担忧。
“这表明我们整体上在向美国公众阐明人工智能部署的积极前景方面做得非常糟糕，”奥伯诺尔特说道，“人工智能可能会成为我们有史以来发明的最强大的提升人类生产力的工具，这不仅会对我国乃至全球经济产生积极影响，还将创造一波繁荣浪潮，让所有人都能从中获益。”
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（路易斯安那州共和党）希望在今年年底前通过一项人工智能监管法案。但国会日程格外紧张。本周众议院提前一天休会。由于《拯救美国法案》——一项要求选民提供公民身份证明的共和党法案——引发争议，下周的日程甚至可能生变。
但目前尚不清楚法案将如何解决课堂人工智能的具体问题。

这意味着人工智能可能会在小学、中学乃至高等教育中不受约束地发展。
除非议员们迅速行动，否则人工智能可能会给我们所有人“上一课”。

Reporter’s Notebook: Lawmakers wrestle over whether AI can make the grade in America’s classrooms
June 25, 2026 2:53pm EDT / Fox News
Educators warn that a previous rush to add technology to the classroom failed to improve learning outcomes
By Chad Pergram Fox News
A recent Fox News poll highlights changing perceptions as 52% of voters now consider Big Tech a greater threat to the U.S. future compared to Big Government’s 47%. A Senate panel also discusses the rise of artificial intelligence in classrooms, debating its impact on student learning, privacy concerns, and potential effects on the American workforce. Lawmakers are working on an AI regulation framework.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Reading. Writing. And AI algorithms.
The Senate is now wrestling with how students — and teachers — might use Artificial Intelligence in the classroom.
It’s inevitable.
“The question is not whether AI is going to impact education. The real question is whether we will shape its use thoughtfully. Responsibly,” said Delaware Secretary of Education Cindy Marten during a recent Senate hearing.
Lawmakers are focusing not just on what AI teaches students. But how.
“What do we know when it comes to long term cognitive impact of the use of this technology?” asked Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., at the hearing.
SCHOOLS TURN TO HANDWRITTEN EXAMS AS AI CHEATING SURGES

“We have no causal studies on long term impact on social or cognitive development,” replied Erin Mote, who, as CEO of InnovateEDU and the EDSAFE AI Alliance, works on technological innovation in the classroom.
Pushing students onto screens, iPads and Chromebooks in the classroom was all the rage about 12 years ago. But since that rush to technology, the percentage of high school seniors performing at grade level in math and reading is down four points from 2009, according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NEAP), sometimes known as the report card of the nation.
“The students did not learn the content better and their social and emotional health has suffered greatly. We need to ensure as we move forward teaching about and with AI that we do not become overly tech reliant and that critical thinking skills remain imperative” said David Slykhuis of Valdosta State University at a House hearing earlier this year.
That’s why lawmakers are skeptical that AI can boost classroom performance.
“Kids have outsourced critical thinking. Have outsourced friendship. Have even outsourced moral advice to AI,” said Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.
95% OF FACULTY SAY AI MAKING STUDENTS DANGEROUSLY DEPENDENT ON TECHNOLOGY FOR LEARNING: SURVEY

There are also privacy concerns. AI can glean what each student learns and knows.
AI could harvest what lessons they’ve covered. How fast students picked up different concepts. AI or data brokers could then track that for decades as students head to college or even enter the workforce.
“These tools are getting more access to more information about our students that we may not even be aware of,” warned Marten.
Teachers are already leaning on AI to develop lesson plans and grade papers. Elementary teachers can certainly deploy AI to grade simple multiplication tables and spelling. But it could spell trouble if teachers or professors use an AI rubric to grade subjective assignments such as creative writing or a term paper.
“For those that start using AI, there’s a tendency to trust everything that it spits out that can create serious problems,” said Joshua Jones at the Senate hearing. He’s CEO of QuantHub, an education AI literacy firm.
Some lawmakers doubt that AI can do everything. And some aspects of education are hard to copy.
“The foundational relationship between a child and a teacher is not something that AI is going to recreate. It’s not something that I will substitute for,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va.
WHY A CLASSICAL EDUCATION MAY BE THE KEY TO HUMANITY’S FUTURE IN THE AI ERA

Educators want to know how AI may shift their roles. And if the concept of a “teacher” or a “professor,” tomorrow is the same as what we think of today.
“The idea of pulling that away is probably really scary to teachers who think this is what teaching looks like. But we know that it’s not an effective way for teaching or for learning. And so it’s going to require some real ecosystem shifts,” said educator Emily Cherkin, who has written about AI.
Graduating college seniors showered several tech CEOs with a chorus of boos at commencement exercises around the country this spring. The reason? These students may have earned a diploma. But they wonder if that’s sufficient for gainful employment in the age of AI.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently met with a host of bipartisan lawmakers at the Capitol about their hopes and fears about AI.
“I understand that college students have a lot of anxiety about the future,” said Altman. “I think there will be a lot of jobs in the future. I think that the impact on jobs has been less than many people in our field expected. And it doesn’t mean that it will always stay that way in the future.”
Moreover, students may question the value of an education if they can’t get work due to artificial intelligence.
“(High school seniors) were saying that they can’t find jobs. Saying that 30 to 40 percent of them are unemployed and they blame AI for this,” said Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo. “We’ve got to make some choices about AI to make sure it actually is good for the American workforce. And I think a lot college grads don’t think it is.”
AI RISKS TO KIDS, WORKERS RISING FASTER THAN REGULATION, NEW GROUP WARNS

Hawley believes Congress should take action on AI. But not in the ways you might think.
“We ought to pass legislation right now that would require these tech companies to turn over the data on how many jobs they’re creating or how many they’re destroying,” said Hawley.
Rep. Jay Obernolte, R-Calif., is one of the leading voices in Congress on AI. He recently helped draft a bipartisan framework for legislation to regulate AI. Obernolte says he hears what college students are saying.
“It’s an indication that we collectively have done a terrible job at articulating to the American public the optimistic case for AI deployment,” said Obernolte. “AI will probably be the most powerful tool for enhancing human productivity that we have ever invented. And that will not only have positive economic consequences for our country and our world, but could create this rising wave of prosperity that literally lifts all the boats.”
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., wants to pass an AI regulation bill by the end of the year. But the Congressional calendar is especially clogged. The House skipped out of town a day early this week. Even next week’s schedule may be in jeopardy thanks to a dispute over the SAVE America Act. That’s the GOP bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote.
But it’s unclear how a bill may address the specifics of AI in the classroom.

That means AI may continue unbridled in primary, secondary and even collegiate education.
And unless lawmakers move fast, AI may school us all.
