Official Policies

UPDATE (August 2024): Delaware released a 28-page document entitled “Generative AI in the Classroom Guidance”, which is a thorough and user-friendly background of AI’s use in the classroom, inherent benefits and risks of the technology, next steps, and much more.

No further guidance on AI in education currently listed on Delaware Department of Education Site.

In the News

As of October 2023, “there are no plans to broaden the standards to specifically address artificial intelligence, but the General Assembly could pass legislation requesting changes”. The DOE considered the existing framework to be adequate in addressing new AI technology.

Universities

University of Delaware has hosted numerous events since May 2023 as part of the “AI for teaching and learning working group”, though it does not have any centralized policy regarding AI use in a classroom environment.
