This paper provides an overview of how the AI policy environment has rapidly evolved over the last few years. Beginning with a summary of national AI strategic plans, the paper then discusses the growing trend in AI regulation, particularly the increased use of national laws to restrict access to AI or social media. Using case studies from Japan, S. Korea, and the U.S., the paper looks at how integration of AI in schools differs between centralized and decentralized systems. The paper identifies salient grassroots political mobilization in all three countries that have impacted AI regulations. Within highly decentralized systems like the U.S., a confounding of AI and social media concerns created a powerful point of mobilization for advocacy groups and grassroots stakeholders. Countries will require proactive policy monitoring mechanisms to successfully navigate the dynamic political environment that arises as AI is integrated into national education systems.
