The bill aims to establish comprehensive standards and policies for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in Florida's education system. It mandates the State Board of Education to adopt these standards, which include allowing student use of AI only with teacher permission, requiring students to disclose AI usage in their work, and implementing AI-monitoring safeguards for assessments. Additionally, the board is tasked with directing the Department of Education to collect metrics on AI usage, provide teacher training on AI, and review school district compliance with the new policies.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing statutes to incorporate digital literacy and the ethics of AI into the curriculum for students in specified grade levels. It also requires that student codes of conduct include policies on AI usage. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2026.
