Here are states’ 3 highest priorities in developing AI policy - Alcino Donadel, University Business

States are defining what AI will look like in practice across K12 and higher education, building policy infrastructure that reflects both the technology’s reach and its risks. A new national overview from the Education Commission of the States spells out how public officials are issuing guidance, installing guardrails and coordinating across sectors to align AI use with school strategy and workforce demand. Arkansas, Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee now require public school districts and postsecondary institutions to adopt formal policies governing acceptable AI use. At the same time, at least 35 states have issued some form of guidance ranging from short advisories to full frameworks. Taken together, these efforts converge on a shared set of priorities that promote human decision-making, student AI literacy, safety and data protection.
