No AI detectors, more citations. What's in a new Wake schools' AI policy draft

Wake County Public Schools is drafting a new artificial intelligence policy that mandates student disclosure of AI use and requires formal citations for such assistance. The proposal explicitly rejects the use of automated AI detection tools, citing concerns over their unreliability and potential for false accusations. This shift reflects a move toward integrating generative tools into the curriculum while prioritizing transparency over prohibition. The policy is currently under review as the district attempts to balance academic integrity with the evolving technological landscape.
