That changed this spring. Princeton’s faculty voted to require proctors for all in-person exams, ending one of the most symbolic academic trust systems in American higher education. The reason, as reported by the Princeton Alumni Weekly and Inside Higher Ed, was direct: generative AI has made ac

What's still missing almost everywhere is the actual teeth behind any of it, the trained behavior that makes a policy real instead of a document nobody reads. That's the gap the Artificial Intelligence Institute set out to close. Not another policy. Not another tool. An actual training program, five classes, five hou

Every district built it in, not because a single mandate forced every one of them simultaneously, but because it became obvious, fast, that kids needed it and nobody could responsibly skip it. That’s exactly the status AI driver’s education deserves right now and doesn’t yet have. The Comparison I

By: Richard Awni, Founder & Chairman, Family First Foundation There’s a purchase order sitting on a superintendent’s desk right now for a new AI tool. There’s almost never one sitting next to it for teaching students how to use it. That’s backwards, and it’s an easy mistake to make, because buying a tool feels like progress in a way that funding training doesn’t. A new platform is visible. A ribbon-cutting is visible. A structured readiness program that quietly changes how th
