Oklahoma Leads the Nation with Artificial Intelligence Training for Schools

Supt. Ryan Walters has implemented AI in Oklahoma classrooms

OKLAHOMA CITY – Superintendent Ryan Walters is ensuring Oklahoma students are prepared for an AI-driven future while maintaining integrity and safety in classrooms. Under Supt. Walters OSDE was one of the first states in the nation to integrate AI learning and training programs into classrooms. We are bringing cutting-edge technology into schools and providing districts with clear frameworks on safety, transparency, and academic integrity—ensuring AI tools enhance, not replace, human instruction.

Oklahoma is Utilizing AI in Four Key Ways:

• Human-centered approach: AI augments, never replaces, instruction.
• Equity and access: All students benefit, regardless of zip code or economic status.
• Transparency: Clear communication with parents, teachers, and students.
• Safety first: Strong protections for student data and well-being. 

“This is about preparing Oklahoma students for the world they’re stepping into,” Walters added. “President Trump has made his directives clear: education must reflect the rapidly changing world, starting with AI. We’re making sure the next generation of Oklahomans doesn’t get left behind."
