CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE—
2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION
Assembly Bill
No. 2370
Introduced by Assembly Member Cervantes |
February 12, 2024 |
An act to add Section 87709 to the Education Code, relating to community colleges.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 2370, as introduced, Cervantes.
Community colleges: faculty: artificial intelligence.
Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes the California Online Community College, under the administration of the board of governors, for specified purposes, and requires the college to develop a Research and Development Unit to, among other things, focus on using technology, data science, behavioral science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to build out student supports.
This bill would prohibit artificial intelligence from being used to replace community college faculty for purposes of providing academic instruction to, and regular interaction with, students in a course of instruction, and would authorize artificial intelligence to
only be used as a peripheral tool to support faculty in carrying out those tasks for uses such as course development, assessment, and tutoring.
