On <strong class=\"font-bold\">This Week with EdSurge<\/strong>, we look at that bet from two very different vantage points: one guest who spent a year studying policy from a distance, and another who helped write it from the inside.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-large mb-4\">Studying Policy From a Distance<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/author\/jody-britten\" class=\"text-(--primary-500) hover:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"underline text-(--primary-600)\">Jody Britten<\/span><\/a> spent the last year coding AI policy from more than 100 school districts across the country into a five-level framework, ranging from active promotion to outright prohibition. Her findings point to a system that leans cautious, and is often disconnected from the state guidance meant to inform it. What the numbers reveal about where most schools land might surprise you.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-large mb-4\">Building Policy From the Inside<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\">Tambra Clark helped write her own district&#8217;s AI governance policy in Birmingham from scratch, sitting on the very kind of committee Britten&#8217;s research describes. What her committee discovered when they first sat down together says a lot about why so much AI policy in this country still has a long way to go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\">Listen to the episode: <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-large mb-4\">Stories Mentioned in This Episode<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/news\/study-the-national-ai-policy-landscape-in-k-12-education\" class=\"text-(--primary-500) hover:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"underline text-(--primary-600)\">Study: The National AI Policy Landscape in K-12 Education<\/span><\/a> by Jody Britten<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edsurge.com\/collections\/edsurge-voices-of-change-writing-fellowship\" class=\"text-(--primary-500) hover:underline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class=\"underline text-(--primary-600)\">Voices of Change Fellowship<\/span><\/a> featuring Tambra Clark<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-xl mb-4 whitespace-pre-wrap\"><strong class=\"font-bold\">This Week with EdSurge<\/strong> is a weekly podcast from <strong class=\"font-bold\">EdSurge<\/strong>.
