AI Summary
This bill establishes academic freedom protections for Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) faculty, prohibits the use of artificial intelligence (AI) as the primary instructor for credit-bearing courses, and requires the creation of an AI working group to develop policies and procedures for the safe and ethical use of AI within the MnSCU system. The bill defines "academic freedom" as the freedom of educators and researchers to investigate, discuss, teach, and publish findings in their academic fields without interference from political figures, boards of trustees, donors, or other entities. It also outlines faculty rights, including the right to teach in an atmosphere of free intellectual inquiry, engage in research and publication, and participate in political activities without discrimination, as long as it does not interfere with their job responsibilities.
