In a recent government meeting, officials announced a shift in the schedule for an upcoming public AI summit, now set for early November instead of late October. This adjustment aims to accommodate those unable to attend previous in-person events.
Next Friday, an internal AI summit will be held at USB, with approximately 150 employees expected to participate either in person or virtually. The summit will provide an overview of the public AI summit's key takeaways and feature presentations on various approved AI tools, including Copilot, Gemini, and Adobe tools. A significant focus will be on student data privacy, with a presentation from the student data privacy team emphasizing its importance in discussions surrounding artificial intelligence.
Additionally, the meeting highlighted ongoing policy updates regarding the integration of AI within existing laws. Requests from local education agencies (LEAs) have prompted the policy team to review current regulations and consider potential impacts of AI usage. This effort is in collaboration with the newly established Office of AI Policy in Utah, which aims to develop regulatory frameworks as necessary.
The meeting concluded with expressions of gratitude for the leadership at USB and a commitment to maintaining a leading role in national AI discussions.
