• Concord kindergarten teacher alleges principal used AI to fire her (bostonglobe.com) — A former Concord kindergarten teacher is suing to overturn an arbitrator’s decision that upheld her firing from the Concord-Carlisle Regional School District, arguing the arbitrator improperly used AI tools in their ruling. The case centers on whether AI influenced both the principal’s evaluation and the arbitrator’s review, and raises questions about age discrimination, due process, and how local schools use emerging technology.
