Behind The Scenes: I wrote Guiding Light


read this article about the new AI policy for Ma schools K-12, and wrote a song about it called "Guiding Light" https://gazettenet.com/2025/08/23/educators-get-new-guidance-for-age-of-ai/

"Guiding Light" is a reflective indie folk anthem inspired by Massachusetts' pioneering AI education guidance. With soulful acoustic guitar, soft percussion, and haunting violin, this song weaves a hopeful yet cautionary tale of technology's role in learning. It celebrates equity, transparency, and human oversight, urging thoughtful integration of AI to empower students and educators. A poetic call to navigate the digital age with wisdom and integrity.

Verse 1

In classrooms bright, where young minds grow,

A new tool hums, its powers flow.

With circuits deep, it shapes the way,

But human hearts must guide the play.

Chorus

Oh, AI, tread soft, tread fair,

In learning's halls, with truth and care.

Empower minds, let wisdom bloom,

In equity's light, we find our room.

Verse 2

Transparency calls, we name its role,

Guard privacy, protect the soul.

No bias blind, no fiction's sway,

We teach the truth to light the way.

Chorus

Oh, AI, tread soft, tread fair,

In learning's halls, with truth and care.

Empower minds, let wisdom bloom,

In equity's light, we find our room.

Verse 3

From data's weight, we carve our path,

No shortcuts here, no thoughtless math.

With oversight, we shape the tool,

For integrity reigns in every school.

Bridge

Oh, students rise, with critical eyes,

See through the code where secrets lie.

The future's theirs, with minds awake,

To build a world no AI can break.

Chorus

Oh, AI, tread soft, tread fair,

In learning's halls, with truth and care.

Empower minds, let wisdom bloom,

In equity's light, we find our room.
