"Meet Sonny, an AI-assisted support system that teens can text with about their problems. The company behind Sonny says the service is currently available to thousands of students in dozens of school districts across the country.

One expert tells CNN that any Sonny user is a "guinea pig.”

Seriously? Mcps cannot be consistent. Instead of helping kids they give them ai after banning it?

Why cant we just live in a world where nothing has to be involved with artificial unintelligence.

I see nothing to suggest that MCPS is in fact using this. OP saw a CNN post that "the service is currently available to thousands of students in dozens of school districts across the country."

What is mcps' plan? Will they utilize this or not or some other version if there is one and will students be using in the classroom on chromebooks?
