AXIOS (Josephine Walker) - A growing movement wants AI out of schools

America's two largest school districts both imposed sweeping AI bans this past week, hitting the brakes on a technology that's rapidly making its way into classrooms around the country. Why it matters: Research on AI's educational value is mixed.

Driving the news: New York City's public school district blocked AI use for roughly 600,000 students in Pre-K through 8th grade, restricting it to specific uses for high school students. - Hours later, Los Angeles Unified imposed a districtwide moratorium on AI use on school devices for the 2026-27 school year, following a separate…

AXIOS (Ashley Gold) - The EU AI Act gets real

Europe's landmark AI law has moved from an idea to enforcement. Why it matters: Brussels will soon learn whether it can turn its sweeping AI rulebook into regulation that companies can actually follow—and if it can become a global benchmark for AI standards. Driving the news: A major enforcement deadline arrived Aug. 2 . - Most notably, new transparency and disclosure requirements are in effect for chatbots and AI-generated content. - Europe's AI Office has not gone after any companies covered under the law for misconduct yet, but it can now request information from companies or ask for access to models. What they're saying: "This is a messy piece of legislation," Patrick Van Eecke, a partner at Cooley in Brussels who advises…
