The parents of a Massachusetts high school senior are suing his teacher, school district officials, and a local school committee over punishments he received for using artificial intelligence (AI) tools to research and outline a history essay. They argue that the student didn’t break any rules and is now at a disadvantage in the Ivy League college application process, having faced penalties such as detention, a poor grade, and exclusion from the National Honor Society. The student received a D for the assignment after his teacher discovered his use of AI, which negatively impacted his GPA and college prospects, despite achieving a perfect ACT score. The lawsuit is set to proceed in court as the school district has filed a motion to dismiss.
