Welcome to the website of Parents for AI Caution in Educational Spaces!

Generative AI isn’t inevitable. Parents have the right to question how their children are being exposed to generative AI, and to ask critical questions about how AI affects brain development, learning capacity, critical thinking, and educational outcomes.

Here is a collection of research and tools to help you advocate for caution and restraint with AI in PreK-12 education spaces. Start with “The Ask,” browse what the latest research says about AI in preK-12 educational spaces, and then join us in taking action—and let us know how we can help.

2026!

This is the year we’ll win the moratorium. Check out the toolkit to see how you can get involved, and watch this space for upcoming events and advocacy opportunities.

We also will be starting a newsletter soon–click here if you want to receive it.

Week of 12/15/25: We won again! Hours before the PEP was going to vote on four harmful AI contracts this week, they pulled them from the agenda, telling the DOE they didn’t have the votes to pass. This is three huge wins in December—check out our toolkit to see how you can make a difference, and stay tuned for what we have planned in the new year.

Week of 12/8/25: Check out our enormously successful forum on Human Centered Schools. And we won! CEC districts 4 and 20 passed resolutions calling for a two-year moratorium on student facing AI use. We need you! Check out the toolkit to see how you can make a difference.

Week of 12/2/25: New this week! Our upcoming Human-Centered Schools forum, and a toolkit you can use to take action.

Week of 11/3/25: Two templates for school board/CEC resolutions.

Week of 10/27/25: We won! Our testimony against AI contracts, which the NYC PEP rejected; templates for opting your children out of AI; the artist perspective on AI, the news that character.ai is banning kids; and more.

Note: The news on generative AI in education changes more quickly than I can keep track of! Right now, I endeavor to update this site on Wednesdays and Fridays with new information and material. Feel free to send things my way that I may have missed!
