Massachusetts Parents Sue School Over AI Usage Penalty

A high school student's use of AI for a history project has led to a lawsuit challenging the fairness of academic integrity policies.

The lawsuit argues that the student was punished under a rule that did not exist at the time of his project.
Parents claim the disciplinary action, including a lowered grade and detention, harms their son's college prospects.
The school contends that using AI without permission violated existing technology use policies.
The case could set a precedent for how AI use is regulated in educational settings.
A hearing is scheduled to address the parents' request to amend the student's academic record.
