This bill requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to form an Education Data Governance and Artificial Intelligence Working Group to enhance statewide education data governance and develop policies addressing the use of artificial intelligence in educational settings. The working group will consist of representatives from various state agencies, educational institutions, and stakeholders, including New Mexico Indian nations, tribes, and pueblos. The group is tasked with studying the current state of education data systems, the interaction of data with artificial intelligence, and the unique needs of New Mexico stakeholders regarding data access and sovereignty.

The working group will explore several key topics, including the accuracy and completeness of data systems, policies for data privacy and security, and the current uses of artificial intelligence in education. Additionally, it will recommend a formal structure for data governance and policies governing artificial intelligence in education. The working group is expected to present its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Education Study Committee by October 31, 2025.
