The Verge·medium signal
The Verge reported on 2026-09-09 that Microsoft agreed to a set of safety and privacy principles for AI in schools with the American Federation of Teachers, the second-largest US teachers union. The agreement came one week after two major school systems announced bans on student-facing AI. It reads as a vendor moving to head off a district-by-district ban wave, and it arrives the same week OECD PISA 2025 data showed daily AI users scoring lower in science than peers.
