With the passage of House Bill 96, Ohio law requires the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to develop a model policy on the use of artificial intelligence in schools no later than Dec. 31, 2025. The model policy shall address appropriate use of artificial intelligence by students and staff for educational purposes.

In addition, state law now requires each school district, community school, and STEM school to adopt a policy on the use of artificial intelligence no later than July 1, 2026. Under this provision, the district or school may adopt the Department's model policy.

More information is forthcoming regarding the Department’s artificial intelligence model policy.
