AIPolicy & LawProgramming

About This Episode

This week on TechCheck for grades 9–12: high-schoolers win an AI challenge and land internships, the business behind AI-in-education (imagi's $4.5M round), a non-binding student 'model' AI policy vs. real law, federal bills to make chatbots disclose they're machines, Illinois' device-based vs. New York's ID-based age verification, and one district's rule that humans keep the high-stakes calls. Debate- and career-ready.
