Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The Safeguard Kids Act amends federal education law to require schools to teach students about artificial intelligence technologies, including their dangers, limitations, and responsible use. The bill specifically addresses AI chatbots and expands existing school safety and student support programs to include education about AI risks. Schools would also be able to provide counseling to students experiencing mental health issues related to AI chatbot use. The legislation defines key terms like artificial intelligence and AI chatbots and integrates AI education into existing federal education funding streams under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, though no specific new funding amount is identified in the bill text. This bill targets both elementary and secondary school students and modifies how schools can use current federal education resources to address AI-related student concerns.
