Imagine a school day with no driver
0:02
behind the wheel, no human teacher
0:04
leaving the lesson, and a robotic nurse
0:07
like Baymax from Big Hero 6 checking on
0:10
your child. That future is the backdrop
0:12
for a new proposal in Trenton. Two
0:15
Democratic Assemblywomen, Heather
0:16
Simmons and Rosie Bagoli, want New
0:18
Jersey public school jobs reserved for
0:21
human beings. Their bill would require
0:23
teachers, bus drivers, nurses, and other
0:26
school personnel, including contractors,
0:28
to be people rather than artificial
0:30
intelligence or automated substitutes.
0:33
The requirement would extend to charter
0:35
schools and Renaissance school projects,
0:37
covering everyone from counselors to
0:39
security officers. Schools could still
0:41
use AI tools to help employees, but
0:43
machines could not take their place in
0:45
the positions covered by the bill. For
0:47
now, that automated school day remains
0:50
hypothetical, and the legislation awaits
0:52
action in the Assembly Education
0:54
Committee. For the latest breaking news,
