The Artificial Intelligence Literacy in Education Act of 2025 aims to enhance students' and educators' understanding of artificial and generative intelligence (AI) within educational settings. The bill mandates that local education agencies (LEAs) adopt and implement a model AI literacy policy by 15 days before the start of the 2026-27 school year. This policy will cover the appropriate use and instruction of AI, including introducing AI concepts, defining responsible access, and evaluating AI tools in the curriculum. Additionally, the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is tasked with providing guidance and professional development programs for educators to effectively integrate AI literacy into their teaching.

The legislation emphasizes the importance of equipping students with the skills to navigate a world increasingly influenced by AI, addressing issues such as misinformation and academic integrity. It requires at least one professional development course per school year for educators to enhance their knowledge of AI and media literacy skills. This initiative reflects a growing trend among states to create educational frameworks that prepare students for the challenges and opportunities presented by AI technologies.
