A local school district has made a decision regarding student use of artificial intelligence. Katy ISD is implementing a ban on AI use for some students, while limiting it for others. Further information on this decision is available, including how it compares to another local district, HISD.

Details on the Katy ISD decision and its differences from HISD can be found through Houston Public Media, which plans to discuss the topic on an upcoming show.
