The AI Impact in Higher Education Committee

In May 2023, Oklahoma was one of the first states to establish a system-wide committee to study the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) across the scope of higher education. Our 35+ members include professionals from diverse areas of institutions and the state itself, each bringing unique perspectives to the table. The committee seeks to inform their own institutions’ policies and practices with respect to governance, operational, and pedagogical approaches to AI.
