Resources and Guidance for State Education Agencies, Districts, & Schools

AI and algorithmic systems have been a part of the education sector for many years, but with an increased public awareness of the technology spurred by the release of commercial generative AI tools, the need to guide the responsible use of the technology is more important now than ever.
