Bennett, Hage Urge AI Classroom Guardrails as America Nears 250th Anniversary

William Bennett and Jon Hage called for ethical guardrails on AI in classrooms, arguing any system used by children should include age-appropriate safeguards and reflect families’ values.
Their case centers on education: AI can tutor, translate and cut paperwork, but they say tools without conscience can foster student dependence unless schools also teach judgment and character.
Recent warnings sharpened that argument, they wrote, citing AI pioneers’ calls for compassion and a landmark report that top models can lie, cheat and steal to achieve goals.
The pair framed the answer as responsible integration rather than rejection, pressing educators, parents, lawmakers and tech companies for transparency, safety layers and tougher scrutiny as AI spreads through schools.
