California passes law to ensure your child is taught by a ‘natural human,’ not AI

California is drawing a line in the digital sand.

Starting 2027, public schools in the Golden State can’t have AI teachers for K-12 students.

The latest amendment to the state’s education code, signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last month, clarifies that all staff and contractors recruited by public schools should be “natural people.”

Assembly Bill 2148 says that while AI can still be used as a supplemental learning tool like a tutoring software, the actual legal “employee” or “contractor” delivering instruction and services must be a human.

The original bill proposed a blanket ban on using AI and educational technology in public schools but lawmakers later toned it down a bit, saying that only humans can be hired to educate and support California’s K-12 public school students.

“We unfortunately have arrived at a point in the history of humankind where we need to define educators as human beings.,” the bill’s author, Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) had said earlier this year.

He said that the proposal stems from the “dramatic rise” of AI and it’s unknown impact on the future of education.

AI teachers might be weird, but some of the real teachers are worse.

Are there any "natural humans" left in California?

My thoughts exactly, Steve.

An AI teacher may be doing the teaching 98% of the time but there will be a Unionized teacher there somewhere, collecting a paycheck, benefits and paying dues.

...and the lesson prep, and the exam marking, and reading a students book review, and student lab work, and the parent/teacher meetings, and keeping abreast of teaching regulations....

A child is taught by a ‘natural human,’ not AI.

California human teachers are at root, indoctrinators.

An AI teacher might slip up and teach the truth rather than the State propaganda
