Overview
Instructs each school district and charter school to offer instruction on the uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
History
AI means a machine-based system that can, for a given set of human-defined objectives, make predictions, recommendations or decisions influencing real or virtual environments. AI systems use machine and human-based inputs to:
1) perceive real and virtual environments;
2) abstract such perceptions into models through analysis in an automated manner; and
3) use model inference to formulate options for information or action (15 U.S.C. 9401).
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) is administered by the state board of education which is the policy-determining body of the department, this is overseen by the superintendent of public instruction who all executive, administrative and ministerial functions of the department are approved by (A.R.S § 15-231).
