The LIFE with AI Act would change federal rules on student data privacy and educational technology. It would create a voluntary privacy seal for schools and local education agencies that meet set standards for parent and student notices and consent. It would make directory-information opt-out forms easier to find and complete, limit certain uses of student photos for facial recognition, and bar schools from working with yearbook companies that sell collected data. It would broaden the definition of education records and require schools to publish certain technology contracts before signing them. The bill would also create a privacy assistance center, support teacher training on AI, and prioritize some AI research proposals focused on personalized learning.
Parents and eligible students could receive notices about some classroom technology and have ways to give or refuse consent and opt out of sharing directory information. Schools would face new privacy, notice, and contract requirements. Teachers would have access to AI training resources. The bill does not require schools to use AI or personalized learning.
The text does not specify new funding or dollar amounts. Schools seeking the privacy seal would use funds already available to them to purchase the required technology.
