Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Rhode Island Schools

In August 2025, RIDE released released guidance to support local education agencies (LEAs) across the state in navigating and implementing policies and practices for the responsible, effective, and equitable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in classrooms.

The goal of RIDE’s AI Guidance is to provide information and current perspectives and practices regarding using Artificial Intelligence in Rhode Island schools and to provide a structure for ongoing conversations. The distribution of this guidance doesn’t constitute formal recommendations or regulations. RIDE also released a video in which students, educators, and school leaders discussed the potential of AI and the newly released guidance.

Together, these sessions provide a shared foundation, practical guidance, and a student-centered vision for using AI to support future-ready learners and school communities. If you were unable to attend any of these sessions, recordings for all AI Guidance Sessions are linked below:
