Arizona AI Alliance
Shaping and Supporting AI Implementation in K-12 schools.
Who are we?
- We are a collective of education organizations who are committed to the responsible, ethical, and effective implementation of AI in Arizona’s K-12 schools.
What do we believe?
- We believe that responsible AI implementation can be an incredible agent of change in Arizona schools and classrooms if led by a true north star for student learning yet guided by the ethics that impact a just society. Our mission is anchored by the GenAI Guidance for Arizona Schools (Arizona Institute for Education and the Economy, 2024).
What do we do?
- We address LEA needs with respect to responsible AI implementation. Five support structures frame our initial work together:
- Guidance for education leaders regarding AI strategy, planning, and implementation
- Information dissemination via an AI Alliance newsletter
- Collaborative learning using a Community of Practice approach for those leading AI implementation
- AI training and professional development opportunities for various roles within schools and districts
- Advocacy for legislative policy that creates the conditions for responsible AI implementation in schools
How do we work together?
- A few organizations within the Alliance serve as an “action team” who create the opportunities outlined in the five support structures. Other Alliance organizations support the mission by providing thought partnership & resources, and promoting the work through their communication channels.
