A Massachusetts family is suing their son's high school after he was punished for using an AI tool to assist with research on a history paper. The parents argue that their son did not cheat, as he only used AI for research and not for writing the paper itself. Following the incident, the student faced detention and a negative impact on his grade, which jeopardized his chances of being inducted into the National Honor Society.
The lawsuit claims that the school's policies regarding AI use are unclear and lack specific guidelines. The family is seeking to have the student's grade restored and to ensure that he is inducted into the National Honor Society retroactively. They also demand that the school implement clearer AI policies and provide training for staff on AI usage in education.
