必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### University announced today an initiative to help Ohio K-12 schools craft thoughtful, effective policies around artificial intelligence (AI).
K–12 AI Policy Lab: An HB96 Workshop for School Leaders is designed to help school administrators and educators develop a policy that addresses the use of AI by students and staff for educational purposes, as required by Ohio House Bill 96. The workshop will be held Friday, Jan. 16, 2026 on 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s campus in Granville, Ohio. The deadline to register is Jan. 8.
Drawing on 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s proven expertise in AI and education and referencing Ohio AI educational resources, the workshop will provide administrators and educators opportunities to create an individualized blueprint for their district’s AI policy and learn about AI educational uses from 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### specialists and their K-12 peers.
“Our goal is to develop lasting partnerships with K-12 districts that help all of us navigate the rapidly evolving AI landscape,” said Lori Robbins, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s head of AI strategy. “Through these collaborative, hands-on workshops, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### will help districts develop AI policies individualized for their needs and preferences, and provide insights from our years-long work exploring how AI is shaping teaching and learning. We also hope to gain input on how K-12 educators are thinking about AI and how we can best support them in the future.”
Leveraging a culture that fosters curiosity and innovation, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### is leading a new model for AI in higher education where AI is more than a technical tool — it’s a lens to ask deeper human questions, foster creativity, and prepare students for meaningful lives and careers.
For example, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### faculty are experimenting and discovering ethical and practical opportunities for AI to help students deepen and accelerate their learning. An extensive faculty AI resource offers guidelines, a prompt library, and a tech toolkit, as well as multiple examples of proven AI strategies for the classroom.
必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s first-of-its-kind King Center for Data and Innovation, scheduled to open fall 2026, will house labs for AI, virtual reality, robotics, data visualization, and collaborative workspaces. Students in every major will learn data strategies and develop the data fluency necessary for every career pathway.
In 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s AI student ambassador program being piloted this fall, students are training peers in AI tactics and data methods they can use to facilitate learning. They share ways AI can benefit other goals, such as building a business or enhancing wellness. AI ambassadors also work with local businesses to help them level up their workplace-related AI technology.
必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 #########’s AI progress attracts higher education peers as well. The university recently co-hosted an AI Certified Futures Summit in partnership with Amazon Web Services, inviting peer institutions to explore secure AI platforms, AI strategy for higher ed, and certification pathways.
By supporting schools in the responsible adoption of emerging tools like AI, 必博娱乐,比博娱乐网址 ######### is leveraging its expertise to help ensure that students from all backgrounds are prepared for a changing technological and cultural landscape.
