If enacted, this bill would amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 15-701.05, which mandates that starting in the 2027-2028 school year, each school district must provide instruction on the ethical, moral, and educational uses of artificial intelligence (AI). This instruction would include basic techniques for AI prompts and ethical considerations for using AI in learning and daily life. School districts would have the flexibility to offer this instruction either as a separate course or by integrating it into existing curricula.

Additionally, the bill requires school districts to submit an annual report to the Arizona Department of Education detailing the AI instruction provided and enrollment metrics. The Department of Education would be authorized to offer guidelines, resources, or grants to assist school districts in implementing this instruction. The bill also defines "artificial intelligence" and includes legislative findings emphasizing the importance of understanding AI in today's society for students' future success.
