Official Policies

UPDATE (August 2024): Louisiana released an 18-page resource called “Artificial Intelligence in Louisiana Schools: Guidance for K-12 Schools”, in which details the benefits and risks of AI use in the classroom, discusses AI policy creation and integration strategies, and links to further resources on AI.

Louisiana Department of Education discusses the USDoE guidance released in during a monthly call and subsequent briefing in May 2023. Otherwise, there is no state-level guidance on AI in education in Louisiana.

Universities

LSU is home to an AI Working Group as part of their Ethics Institute, though little is posted in terms of AI guidance on their page. AI is also discussed on LSU’s Academic Integrity Tool Kit, which tells of permissible and prohibited uses of GenAI in the classroom.
