House Memorial 2 requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to form a working group focused on education data governance and the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in New Mexico's education system. The working group will consist of representatives from various state agencies, educational institutions, and stakeholders, including educators, students, and experts in data governance and AI. The group is tasked with studying the current state of education data systems, identifying necessary improvements for interoperability, and developing policies to ensure data accuracy, privacy, and security. Additionally, the working group will explore the use of AI in education and recommend a formal structure for data governance and policies governing AI use.
The working group is expected to address several key topics, including the unique data needs of New Mexico stakeholders, the interaction of data with AI, and the establishment of transparent and timely data reporting. It will also consider the importance of maintaining meaningful human connections in educational settings while utilizing AI tools. The working group is required to present its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Education Study Committee by October 31, 2025, ensuring that the state's education data governance framework is robust and responsive to the evolving landscape of technology and education.
