On Wednesday, Nov. 20, InnovateOhio launched Ohio's AI in Education Strategy, developed to ensure Ohio's education system is prepared for and can help lead the AI revolution.
The strategy, developed by a coalition of representatives from industry, education and government, is a series of recommendations for K-12 districts, higher education institutions, and the state of Ohio itself to better prepare young people with not only foundational knowledge of AI, but skills necessary to thrive in an AI-enhanced world.
InnovateOhio collaborated with the AI in Education Coalition to help educators better prepare students for the workforce of tomorrow. Some of those in-demand skills include:
Foundational AI Literacy
AI Integration Awareness
Data Literacy
Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
Communication and Collaboration
Adaptability and Continuous Learning
Emotional Intelligence and Integrity
Some recommendations within the strategy include:
Implementing a policy for the use of AI in school districts
Incorporating AI literacy into Education Preparation Programs
The Department of Education and Workforce to integrate AI into academic standards
