Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), is urging limits on artificial intelligence and other technologies in public schools, particularly for younger students. NBC News reports that Weingarten is supporting a parent-led effort aimed at restricting how much time elementary school students spend using laptops in class. CBS News similarly reports that Weingarten’s stance is part of a broader 10-point action plan focused on preparing public schools for success, which includes calls to limit AI and technology use. Both outlets frame her position as an effort to establish guardrails for how devices and AI tools are used in the classroom. While the articles emphasize different details—NBC highlights the screen-time and laptop focus, and CBS highlights the wider policy plan—they agree that Weingarten is advocating for reduced technology exposure in schools and setting boundaries on AI adoption. The proposals are presented as part of an effort to address concerns about how classroom technology affects students and learning environments.
