New Jersey AI Policy

Follow our research on AI education policy trends in New Jersey and nationwide.

No guidance posted on NJ.gov. As of October 2023, Governor Murphy has plans to establish Artificial Intelligence Task Force which will include state education officials.

Rutgers University has a tool called “Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Higher Education”, which tells of the newly-developed AI Roundtable, answers FAQs on GenAI, gives suggestions to Rutgers faculty, and links to AI-related events and further resources.

Princeton University‘s McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning has posted a letter from two deans written on January 25th, 2023 addressed to Teaching Faculty with clear guidelines for the use of AI in the classroom. The same resource also has example syllabus statements on AI/ChatGPT and links to further readings for faculty (though none are more recent than January 2023). The university also has a project called “Dialogues on AI and Ethics” on their site, though there are no recent policies posted on that platform.

UPDATE: On January 29th, 2024, President Biden announced an update to his October 2023 Executive Order, which included a statement that by October 2024, the Department of Education will “develop guidance on safe, responsible, and nondiscriminatory use of AI in education”.

In May 2023, the US Dept. of Education announced the release a 70-page report called “AI and the Future of Teaching and Learning”, which suggested the following steps:

Emphasize Humans-in-the-Loop
Align AI Models to a Shared Vision for Education
Design AI Using Modern Learning Principles
Prioritize Strengthening Trust
Inform and Involve Educators
Focus R&D on Addressing Context and Enhancing Trust and Safety
Develop Education-specific Guidelines and Guardrails

More recently, in October 2023, President Biden included AI in Education in an Executive Order, committing himself to “Shape AI’s potential to transform education by creating resources to support educators deploying AI-enabled educational tools, such as personalized tutoring in schools”.

In December 2023, the National Science Foundation (NSF) launched the EducateAI Initiative, with aims ” to enable educators to make high-quality, audience-appropriate artificial intelligence educational experiences available nationwide to K-12, community college, four-year college and graduate students, as well as adults interested in formal training in AI”.

In October 2023, Education Technology Industry’s Principles for the Future of AI in Education released a document with 7 “Principles for AI in Education”, which provide “a framework for how we can look to the future of implementing AI technologies in a purpose-driven, transparent, and equitable manner”.
