Show Notes
Norway Restricts AI in Schools
Norway is banning generative AI tools for students ages 6 to 13, saying younger children should develop reading, writing, and math skills without AI assistance. Students ages 14 to 16 will only be able to use AI under teacher supervision, while older teens can use it independently. The policy follows the country’s school smartphone ban, which officials say improved grades and student well-being.
