Students in Norwegian schools are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) tools, but the lack of clear rules is causing uncertainty and growing concerns about unfair use. Young people are demanding that politicians take responsibility for organizing the situation.
Students at Elvebakken High School in Oslo told NRK that teachers have different approaches to AI. Some encourage the use of these tools, while others are strongly opposed. According to Pernille Hedløv Aase, it is this lack of consistency that creates the biggest problem.
Young people notice that teachers themselves use AI, which in their opinion leads to inconsistent standards. They emphasize that technology has become part of everyday learning and is hard to ignore.

Challenges with grading and lack of guidelines
Many students point out that achieving top grades without AI support is becoming increasingly difficult. Some believe that teachers have unknowingly become accustomed to answers generated by algorithms.
Changed expectations for assignments are emerging even though educational goals are similar to those a decade ago. At the same time, the lack of national guidelines means that schools have to create their own rules. Students emphasize that differences in approach deepen the chaos.

Exams under pressure from new technologies
Teachers also see growing challenges. Teacher Anne Grønlie notes that many students use AI for written assignments and answers in class, even when it is not always allowed. She adds that the pressure to get into university may encourage young people to make risky decisions.
In response, the Education Authority is introducing restrictions on online tools and secure browser tests during exams. As a result, many students fear that their work will be unfairly treated as cheating on the exam, even though they did it themselves.

Proposal to introduce a school subject about AI
Elvebakken students suggest that a solution could be to introduce a separate subject dedicated to AI, which would organize the rules for using technology. Minister of Education Kari Nessa Nordtun confirms that the government is analyzing the need to create a new technology subject.
Young people believe that learning how to use AI should start in the lower grades. They are also increasingly emphasizing the need for tools that will allow them to use new technologies responsibly and in accordance with school rules.
