NC AI Summits Were a Success!

NCDPI hosted 2 AI Summits for education leaders and AI steering committees to help guide the responsible adoption and implementation of generative AI in our public schools.  We were pleased that the 380 attendees across the state provided overall very positive reviews and a desire for future similar events.

All NC AI Summit Resources including presentation links and other resources shared by the presenters can be viewed by visiting this NC AI Summit Resources Folder.  All content can be utilized and remixed by North Carolina public schools as long as credit is given and there are no commercial uses.

NEW: North Carolina School Boards Association Updated Policy Recommendations about AI

The North Carolina School Boards Association has issued policies regarding AI use in schools.  The NC School Boards Association updated policy 3220 Technology in Educational Program to include these statements regarding AI Implementation, which are in alignment with the NC Generative AI Implementation Recommendations and Considerations for PK-13 Public Schools.

To summarize, the board encourages the use of generative AI by school system employees and students to expand their skills and capabilities and to prepare students for a future AI-enhanced world and states that all school system employees and students should be AI literate.   The board goes on to recommend professional development for all staff.   

Additionally, Policy 3225/4312/7320 Technology Responsible Use makes recommendations about AI Policies and parental notifications and consent.
